first looks like an ichneumon fly, but not one I've seen before, second looks like a weevil spp
just thought If the weevil was in the house might be a vine weevil (common pest in houseplant roots)

Looks like the Ichneumon fly could be Amblyteles armatorius, don't have a common name for it.
The Weevil type beetle looks like a Otiorhynchus clavipes, once again I don't have a common name for it.
Quite a lot of the insect world species have not been given common names, not unlike the fungis and lichens. So many are similar in appearance that it's almost impossible without taking specimens to identify them, even then it can be difficult or impossible to be sure.
