I am trying to ID some insects and I have a few beetles (and flies) that I can't fine in my keys or I am not entirely sure of.
I am thinking the third picture is a staphlinidae, though it is a different colour to the black I am used to seeing, the 4th one is a cerambicidae and the last is an elateridae though

Sorry for bad picture quality, I don't have access to my good camera and I have bad lighting
I live in British Columbia if that helps

Thank you so much
