 Hi Gordon,

i think the yellow one is Ampedus elegantulus.
take a look at: http://www.elateridae.com/zobrbruk.php?id=2857

and the red one looks like Ampedus sanguinolentus.
take a look at: http://www.elateridae.com/zobrbruk.php?id=2911

also in general a very good resource for Elateridae is:
www.elateridae.com

hope this helps you,
cosmln
