First shot is obviously a beetle of some kind, the second shot (which is very good BTW) I think is a Robber fly.

dont know what country you are in but the nearest to that beetle in the UK I can see in my books is something like Brachinus Crepitans so yours might be another type of Ground Beetle.
Then again some Flower Beetles and even the odd Weevil species are not dissimilar.

Welcome to the forum. This is really a great start, you have posted two very nice captures. The first is great, except for the size. If you could keep it around 800 pixels wide, it would make it easier for most to see it without scrolling. The second shot is very good. Did you add an saturation to the image? It seems a little intense.
