J.B.S. Haldane joked that if some god or divine being had actually created all living organisms on Earth, then that creator must have an "inordinate fondness for beetles." They're incredibly diverse, this article has a nice table that sums things up:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_biodiversity
There's ~64.000 mammal species total, insects clock in at ~1,000,000. Of insects Coleoptera, the beetles, are estimated at 360-400k species. There's about 2,000,000 species in Animalia total and a bit less than a quarter are beetles.
If you use iNaturalist it's more helpful on that count than Seek since some beetles are more identifiable than others, and there are entomologists who might be able to help confirm some ids, I've had luck with a number of ground beetles and some other species.
I also came to the conclusion that I should try iNaturalist. It doesn't appear to be especially lively, but I did find several "nearby" observations of what I can only assume is the same beetle, and one had been labeled (by the uploader) harpalus sinicus. (Context: middle of Shanghai.)
The harpalus identification seems pretty safe. Identifying the species from a photo seems like a hopeless task, so further identification would presumably have to rely on background knowledge like "there's only one common harpalus species in your area".
The strawberry seed beetle, as far as I can tell, is in fact nearly visually identical, so in some sense Seek made a respectable guess.
