What are these small black beetles (live) among dried mealworms?

[Perris]

Aren't those the darkling beetles that lay the mealworm eggs? Look like them. You can't grow mealworms without them.

I don't think the ones in the OP's photo are. These are what my darkling beetles look like, and they grow from regular mealworms and lay regular mealworm eggs.

I think the OP's photos show weevils.

I don't think they meant the OP's. I believe they were talking about the side discussion of mealworms.
