Possible Fungus weevils. Although the photo was taken more than a week after the first one I have assumed that the long horned one is the same critter. I never noticed more than two beetles over nearly a month of observing.

Cool!
Fungus weevils (Anthribidae family), but I've never seen any here in the states with long antennae (I do recall another recent post to BG, though).
