A “bangaw” is just a large “langaw”, right?

Taxonomically speaking, โ€œlangawโ€ is a family of insects (flies) while โ€œbangawโ€ is one species within the family. That is why the definition of โ€œbangawโ€ in Filipino dictionary is โ€œmalaking langawโ€: https://www.diksiyonaryo.ph/search/bangaw
