These were collected in Light Traps at the Archbold Biological research Station, Highland County, Florida 18 October 2015. These were rather abundant. Not great photographs. Any help appreciated.  |

Greetings,
The species on the left is Knulliana cincta - most likely the subpecies spinifera - based on the collection locality.
The specimen on the right is a species of Monochamus. I can't see the characters necessary for an accurate ID well enough in the image, but my "spidey senses" would lead me toward Monochamus carolinensis. Look at the pronotum and the basal third of the elytra - if these are both coarsely, almost rugosely punctate, it is carolinensis. The other option would be M. titillator which would have these areas more sparsely, separately punctate.
Hope this helps!
