Based on this topic I think the photo's below might show Ligariella trigonalis.
Does anyone can confirm (or deny) that?
Photo taken at Daan Viljoen, Namibia (april 2022). There were actually quite a lot of these around coming to the lights.

corotauria, welcome to the forum 
We have quite a few knowledgeable people on the forum and also some into insects. Sooner or later one of them is bound to show up
Your ID looks good to me, but I am far away from being an expert.
Have fun

Thank you!
Good to be here. I have a lot of unidentified African critters, so I definitely could use your help.

Thank you Klipspringer.
The total paper is to long for Google-translate, but the species text of L. bicornuta indeed seems to be a 100% fit to the photographed species.
