You may be surprised - not only not the same species, but two unrelated beetles! (if possible, seperate images of each observation) pic 1, 4+5: Aegithus cf. meridionalis (Erotylidae) pic 2+3: Corynomalus sp. (Endomychidae) Both (unrelated) Fungus beetle families are known for chemical defense, and similarity here is best interpreted as Muellerian mimicry.
