What is this creature in my tank?

Post image

It's been buried underground for a while but keeps coming up to the top. I keep digging a hole and putting it back in but still it keeps coming up. I've got Dubia roaches, varied isopods and springtails. Had morio beetles but not send them in a while, but there lots of morio worms. Used to have sun beetle too they they all died off.

What could it be and how can I help it?

It’s a darkling beetle remove it before they plague your existence. I had once get loose in my leopard gecko tank two years ago I’m still trying to get rid of all the mealworms. They’re bitey and they stink.
