Quite possibly the beetles nabbed them, or they just croaked due to lack of food or unsuitable 'climate' conditions or so. The Woodies (Porcellio scaber) are just cleaning up and thus supplementing their own stock of 'chitin'

I started the tank off over a year ago, its been great watching different insects doing what they do
there are only a couple of beetles in there at the moment, the woodies were origonally intended as feeder food for the beetles, devils coach etc, but they never bothered them, so the woodies are doing really well in there,
the crickets that wander into my garage get let go or put in the tank, just for food for the other inhabitants.
