 Perhaps by error, but the first is a syrphid fly (Eumerus-like), the others are a species of soldierfly (Stratiomyidae)

 The one on the video clip is what I suspect is the Eurmerus (hoverfly, not BSF).

The second may be: Nigritomyia loewii from STRATIOMYIDAE (Soldier Flies),

Does "black soldier fly" mean Hermetia? Compare antennae.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
