Sorry, just saw this now.ExFmem wrote:Oops, looks like the links don't work Can just Copy/Paste I presume.
I fixed the links in your posts. To make sure the links work, you'll need to have the "https://www.africawild-forum.com/" in front of the "viewtopic..."
It doesn't show once you have submitted your post though.

Re: Insect or Invertebrates Identification
arks,
The first is a lacewing, don't know the genus/species.
My best guess for the 2nd/3rd is a Bee Fly, Family Bombyliidae, perhaps Bombomyia discoidea (link below for photos):

Re: Insect or Invertebrates Identification
Can anyone help with an ID for these two moths? Not good photos, but the best that I could manage. Seen at/in my rondavel at Olifants in mid-April 2016.

Re: Insect or Invertebrates Identification
arks,
The first one is a Cream-striped Owl Moth (Cyligramma latona) Family Noctuidae
viewtopic.php?p=231645#p231645
The second one I don't know without further research, but I strongly suspect it, too, is a member of the Family Noctuidae (the largest and most successful family of moths in the world).
