Smelly Insects

[Mosha]

There are some small insects (Beetles?) that smell really bad if you crush them. Does anyone know what they are? The smell seems to linger for hours.

No can't help you there, I tried to find out more info on them myself in the past but came up with next to nothing, all I know is they are only ever at ground level, they seem to like wet places like the shower, I have seen them in black and brown. good luck in your search...
