Insect or Invertebrates Identification - DONE

[ExFmem]

Will enter just as Thyreus sp.

[ExFmem]

Can someone please point me in the right direction for info. on the fly species Rhinia? I don't see it in my Picker, etc insect book, nor in the checklist for Diptera of SA, but there is an entry here in AW's book (Blowfly Rhinia sp., most likely Rhinia apicalis
Family: Calliphoridae. Subfamily: Rhiniinae) that looks like some of mine, except diff. color, eyes etc? Thanks!

According to this debatte on diptera forum there are only 3 possible species

Rhinia apicalis, Rhinia coxendix, Rhinia nigricornis

First, before I get to the Blowflies that I'm trying to sort, the yellow "ladybug-looking" one w/ blue eyes above interested me because I still haven't been able to identify the blue-eyed blond one I posted here awhile ago. Mine was much lighter, but this is the most similar bug I've seen to date.

"What's that bug?" site couldn't ID it, but suggested some kind of leaf beetle, and some of them certainly resemble ladybugs. Maybe consider a leaf beetle

Okay, on to Blowflies

Some to add to previously entered species please: both Family Calliphoridae

Rhinia apicalis Rhinine Blowfly


Nov. KTP

BTW, Joan Young's album has this same fly ID's as: Hover Fly - Syrphidae ??? (https://picasaweb.google.com/1037881000 ... iesDiptera)
However, the link Toko gave me re: Rhinia species agrees w/ us.

Chrysomya albiceps Banded Blowfly


Oct. KTP

[ExFmem]

This one doesn't appear to have the bands on the abdomen, just plain green. Same as above, or different? Chrysomya or Lucilia sp.??


Sept. Kruger

[ExFmem]

Shall I just post this one as Rhinia sp. ?


Sept. Imfolozi

[ExFmem]

Please confirm as Regal Blowfly Chrysomya marginalis
I'm quite sure of the first pic, but the next one's head is slightly different (???) maybe male/female ???

This is a different one, but have no clue, there are several genera with the golden spot on the wing
