Converting Oriental Adventures creatures

Was wondering about maybe increasing the Carnivorous version's swarm damage to 3d6 and making it CR 4.

Also wondered about tweaking the Carnivorous version's abilities to Dex 12, which'd make it:

Armor Class: 13 (+2 size, +1 Dex), touch 13, flat-footed 12
Attack (Swarm): Swarm (3d6) [?]
Attack (Individual): Bite +3 melee (1d6–3)
Saves (Swarm): Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +3
Saves (Individual): Fort +2, Ref +1, Will +0
What do you think?

Also am a bit unsure about the Environment.

The original Carnivorous Beetle Swarm was at the entrance to the subterranean portion of OA2, so I think adding "underground" to the environment made sense, but it doesn't feel essential to the regular beetle.

Am contemplating changing it to:

Environment (Beetles): Warm or temperate plains and forests
Environment (Carnivorous Beetles): Warm plains and forests or underground​
