Helen,
I think there are two species here. The larger one with the dark body is possibly Paropsini sp. but the others could be Paropsisterna sp.

Thanks Alison, thought that may be the case. I'll upload the images again for the Paropsisterna sp.

After raising the larvae for the larger larvae, I've determined that it is Paropsisterna beata.
