The first beetle is of the family Carabidae (ground beetles), probably of the genus Carabus or Nebria. Considering there are nearly 30,000 species of carabid beetle, it is hard to make a positive species ID from photos. The second beetle is of the genus Rhynchophorus (palm/palmetto weevil) of the family Curculionidae. Probably Rhynchophorus cruentatus.
