Baja bugs after the storm


I have some young fire trees in the yard and after the storm some strange bugs have attacked them. ID'd one of them (the one near the top of the photo is a Long Jawed Longhorn beetle) but don't know what the other sapsucker's name is. Anybody?

Also the Spanish name for the longhorn is Toro Jumete (sp?) -- anybody know what that means?

According to my simplistic Spanish convertor;
Toro- Bull, strong
Jumento- Donkey, ass
Interesting name for a bug. Must be a tough customer.

Every strange bug in the world comes out after the rains.

And every rain it seems it is a different type of plagua.

Looks like some kind of centipede? Some in the Baja I believe are poisonous.

That's a millipede, they are not poisonous.
