Hi Graham,
#3 & 6: Correct, Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing, Noctua janthe.
#8: May be one of the so-called Bird-dropping Moths, family Noctuidae - but that's about all I can tell you. |

1. Dingy Footman
2. -
3. Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing
4. One of the two Copper Underwings, they can only be reliably separated by looking at the underside of the hindwings
5. Possibly another Copper Underwing sp.
6. Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing
7. -
8. Chinese Character
9. Knot-grass
Guy
Edit: Just a guess really, but your beetle may be Nicrophorus nigrita

I think number 7 may be an Apotomis (or possibly Hedya) sp. but I'm leaning towards Apotomis looking at the markings. As you say, a member of the Tortricidae. Not sure if I'm right though.  |

Ah, I hoped it would seem familiar if I looked long enough! #2 is the Sexton Beetle, Nicrophorus humator I believe. They are associated with moth-traps, often being found in such areas infrequently. This is the only all-black (barr orange antennae + feet) Sexton burying beetle in the country. |
