hi can anyone help my son identify these beetles that we found all over some coconut we'd put out to see what it would attract. the beetles have look of a sexton beetle my son thought, but are small only about 6mm. any help would be much appreciated.

My guess would be Family Nitidulidae - Sap-feeding Beetles. Maybe Genus Glischrochilus?
