Bug ID

[nurse_boy]

Hi Guys... one of my friends was looking for an ID on what these guys are, she has them in her garden. They seem to be some type of beetle, but we aren't really sure on what type. If anybody could help that would be great.
Thanks

Looks like genus ananca,

Not sure if we have them here though, just trying to see whether I can find it

Nope take that back, it's a soldier beetle . Chauliognathus lugubris
