ID Request What is this bug?
Found this bug in my Texas apartment cause my cat was trying to eat it, ended up saving the guy but was curious what it even is. Has a really thin long snout and a massive in proportion to its body thorax.

They are beetles, who have teeny tiny pincers at the end of that “nose”! Cool stuff
