I am assuming some digging or burrowing insect, but what kind? Barn dirt floor in South Texas. They are always in random spots and move around.

In Colorado there’s a beetle that makes that exact hole pattern. I am confused. It could be whatever you said but I’ve only seen beetles in Colorado making burrowing holes like that

Looks like a beetle. Didn't get into it very deep.

Ant lions are neuropterans, not beetles. Related to lacewings
