Strange looking bumblebees and some sort of Pentatomidae

I found this strange looking bumblebee as well as a some sort of pentatomidae that I have never seen before. If you happen to know the names of them, please tell me in a comment below!
As expected, a note on Facebook and now I know thanks to my good friend and one of the real experts in the area of beetles, Bengt Andersson! It is Trichius fasciatus and it is not a bumblebee but a beetle. In Swedish it is, however, called a bumblebee beetle!



This is, I have been told, a "dock bug" or Coreus marginatus.
