These might be the same thing as the small dark-brownish beetles I've been seeing swarming over the top of Mt Stromlo over the past few weeks. Millions of them. One morning I saw them massing on the ground near the lower MSO carpark.

In bushland near Bungendore yesterday we saw swarms of flying insects
