RE: Longhorn beetle private party

Wonderful shots as always!

I believe these are a type of Soldier Beetle (Cantharidae) which are a different family to the Longhorn Beetles.

This might be something similar to Common Red Soldier Beetle - Rhagonycha fulva but there are several different species which all look very similar... check the link for a selection of species in this family

Here in the UK they sometimes get referred to as 'bonking beetles' because they are often spotted together on flowers getting 'busy...' 😉

I think you are right!
The full orange body and the dark tip of the wings is more like the Soldier Beetle.

Hahaha they were busy here alright :D
