Bugs eating my peaches!

We purchased a house with a few peach trees last year and this is our second harvest. Both years I've noticed tiny beetle type bugs in the peaches come harvest time.

Below is a picture showing two of the bugs on a peach. I stood there and watched five or so of them come out of some holes near the stem shortly after being picked. They are small bugs with what seem to be hard shells. They remind me a bit of mini cockroaches. As far as I can tell, they don't fly. I've looked on google and can't find any pictures that look like them.

The peaches also often end up with blemishes with sap bubbling out of them which once ripe turns into a brown spot and spread to the whole fruit turning them bad quicker. I'm not sure if this is to do with the bugs or if thats an unrelated issue. Please help!

These could be sap beetles (family Nitidulidae). They usually attack fruits (and some vegetables) that are ripe and that already have some blemish/damage. Although their actual physical damage may be relatively minor, it opens up the fruit to further attack from bacteria, fungi, etc. See https://extension.umn.edu/yard-and-garden-insects/sap-beetles for some control suggestions.
