The alate termite looks like a dry wood termite. The beetle with the larva (and other view of the adult beetle) looks like it could be an anobiid, don't think a dermestid. I'd have to take the images and try to lighten up the beetle. In Denver going to attend a bed bug symposium. Might have time later today.

Number 5 insect is a winged termite or Alate form. It is a reproductive. No sure of the species. I would need more information. A guess would be a “drywood” termite. Can’t really tell from the photo. Did you just find a single sample or were many present? . The other beetle and larva appear to be dermestidae. The next appears to be a case-making clothes moth cocoon with larval caste skin. Hope this helps.

These insects just started showing up in our Storage Area. Any idea what they may be? I hope the pictures could help! Best wishes!
