Could it be a beetle?

In particular, I am thinking about Oulema melanopa which is rather variable in colour but can be that shade of blue.

Six legs instead of eight, like spiders.

I have had a blue tick looking like a bean in my house I think it came off the dog they are quite common but I don't know what the name is or if there are more than one blue tick..
have a look at deer or sheep ticks.

Did it look like this..
