Hi dewmuw and welcome to the forum  .
I'm afraid I can't help out with identification but I'm sure there are plenty of members who will be able to help you. I have an as yet unidentified pic of one of your mating beetles (took it about a week ago) so I'll be following your thread with interest.

The first looks like some sort of Donacia in the leaf beetle group. http://www.koleopterologie.de/galler...2-foto-jas.jpg
The second I think is a leaf roller also from the leaf beetle group though can't identify it yet. |

The second looks like it could be in the genus Chrysolina. I will see if I can identify which one. |

1. Donacia sp possibly Doncia vulgaris
2. I agree it looks good for Chrysolina polita which can be quite variable. |

Thanks for the quick responses - I really appreciate the efforts you have put in on my behalf. Thanks!
I've done a bit more searching and now think the first is a Reed Beetle (Donacia simplex)
