As I have mentioned earlier there were not many insects around ..apart from Tamboti Camp. But I photographed these insects elsewhere and I am not sure what they really are ..anyway they look interesting…can anybody give them a name for me ?

One looks like a kind of wasp

@Arks -
Toko is not present on the forum for the time being and I do not know when she'll be back. Maybe someone else will be able to assist you

Sorry, just saw this now.

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.

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):

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.

arks,

The first one is a Cream-striped Owl Moth (Cyligramma latona) Family Noctuidae

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).
