These are at the invitation of @Kakapo but if anyone else can help feel free! No idea how many of these are identifiable from the rather variable photos but may as well give them a go!

One species here looks like the British species Nacerdes melanura?
 
Wow! What a combo of species! Orange ones are Rhagonycha fulva, red and black is Trichodes apiarius, and bigger yellowish one is Paracorymbia fulva, the most interesting of the species shown here.
I just came across this picture now, as it appeared in the main page of the forum. I don't know why, being cited here, I didn't saw the notification in the moment. Better late than never!

Edit: Easily you can mistake Rhagonycha fulva with Nacerdes melanura by its colours, but appart of the different shape, N. melanura is much rarer (in Spain at least) by my experience (I never saw one in my whole life), while Rh. fulva is very common. And N. melanura is a litoral species, while Rh. fulva is found inland.
