three different individuals from a hatching of about 20 found near the lights of our house i am assuming they are all the same type - if not i will edit and upload them separately

Yes, three different individuals, all Oxycanus genus I think. When you know the photos are different individuals it is recommended not to load different individuals in the same observation if you can. With Oxycanus genus its best to try to get the antennae in sharp focus to help with identification to the species level. I would suggest you reload the first two photos as one observation. the second two as the third observation and the fifth photo (antennae arwe in better focus) as the third observatlion.
