Default Beetle(?) ID

Any idea what these are? They were 7 - 8 mm long, and around for about a
month before disappearing last week. I thought that they were beetles of
some sort, but I have always assumed beetles were insectivorous. Nearly
all the plants we have found these on (the one shown here is a purple
Corylus) have small holes in the leaves. But I never saw one in the act
of eating a leaf.
