No, 3 is looking like a Perinephela lancealis or possibly a worn Phlyctaenia coronata

I think it's a post-hibernation Chrysoperla carnea - they turn brown (or red!) as they enter hibernation and then back to green when they emerge. Looking at the wing venation under a microscope would be needed for a positive ID though.

Graham, what habitat was the first fly found in?

[Adam Cheeseman]

5. possibly Crambus perlella

Tortrixs might be Celypha lacunana

Cheers,
