No, they are insects. Mammals are all warm-blooded vertebrates.

All beetles and mammals are animals and that is where the similarity ends.

Beetles are in no way mammals; they even differ at phylum level

Mammals are furred, young-suckling viviparous vertebrates

Beetles are invertebrates, with chitinous body armour and six jointed legs and 2 pairs of wings, the hindwings and the hard forewings called elytra. Their bodies comprise three parts; the head, thorax and abdomen.
