shiny brown beetle in my potato bags

Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

Have several bags of potatos growing nicely but today have noticed some small shiny brown beetles in some of the bags it's about 5 - 7mm long - i used a new type of compost to top them up a couple of days ago maybe they were in that - does anyone know what this might be ? is it going to damage my potatoes and how do i get rid of it if needed? will try to take photo later and post but thought someone might be able to help
thanks
