The Castiarina are a tad too far out of view and focus to be able to ID them to species, but I do suspect they are both Castiarina scalaris. Do a search for Castiarina and see if they look like what you saw here. The longhorn beetle at top left (the grey one with longitudinal stripes) is Distichocera fuliginosa, and the cetonid beetle (the roundish pale yellow spotted job) is in the genus Clithria. and I am thinking it might be Clithris eucnemis. Cheers, Allen M. Sundholm.
