Help! Coleoptera

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Within a single flower, there can be a whole eco-system. This is the head of a common Field Thistle, Cirsium arvense and browsing inside are a number of insects including three brown beetles If anyone can help to identify these, even to subfamily or genus, that would be a help.
The picture was taken as a macro flash experiment, using two mini-lights mounted on the front end of the Sigma 180mm lens, and the minimum aperture of f/22 for maximum depth of field. Although the exif data says "return light not detected", clearly the image is lit by the flash guns and the exposure time is less than 1/60th that was calculated by the camera.
If anyone else has experience of how these Nikon mini lights work in TTL mode, I'd be interested to hear.
Thanks.

Hello Allan !
Wow, what a busy flower ! Five insects ! And I really like how you have captured them, with excellent details, vivid colors, and great details on most of the insects. Composition and POV are excellent, too. Very well done !
Valérie.
