Re:

Calliphoridae, Rhiniinae. Probably a Rhyncomya species per Diptera.info.

Okay to proceed?
I suppose I should put it under Rhiniidae, not Calliphoridae, however.

Go ahead

I thought they were the same species but they obviously aren't

Both of your IDs look good to me

I've looked through all the pics on the African Moths link (subSaharan Africa section) without success. Thanks!

It's strange how a type of insect suddenly appears in multitudes. I suppose it's the time of year that they hatch.

I saw the first of these moths about ten days ago and now they are everywhere.
