Hey, I was hoping to get some help on identifying these beetles that were mating on some Meadow Death-Camas. Thanks in advance for any help!!

Greetings,
Well, it's not easy to get a great look, the way they're scurrying around, but after stopping and starting the video a number of times, I think they are Acmaeops pratensis (Laicharting) [previously in the genus Gnathacmaeops]. They are definitely Cerambycidae in the subfamily Rhagiini, but I could be wrong on the species ID. The other species that they resemble (but I doubt they are) is Cortodera subpilosa (LeConte), but the head looks too elongate and they don't look "fuzzy" enough to be that one.
Cheers!
