Our groundskeeper in California used to capture these little guys on a regular basis at work and this looks suspiciously like one of them. The bug looks a bit like the beetles that took over our backyard in Arizona in the spring every year. If I can get a name, I'll pass it along. Believe me....they were much smaller than the photo...roughly a half inch. Like vireo, my first thought was the rodent was a vole.

Not enough of the insect ot know what kind. The rodent looks like some kind of vole (a Microtus genus), though I don’t know which species.
