Moths for ID Please

[LoveT]

Hi folks

Can you help me identify these please?

Can't give you very much information I'm afraid, except that they were all pretty small (no more than approx. 1cm), with the exception of numbers 3 and 4 - which were considerably larger.

No1:


No2:


No3:


No4:


No5:


Many thanks

1 is one of the Yponomeutid ermines - there are quite a few of them and they are all pretty similar! Could be Yponomeuta plumbella looking at the black smudges on the wings, but I'm not sure how variable they are.
2 is one of the Scopariinae, possibly Scoparia ambigualis, but there are confusion species.
(You can tell I don't know much about micro-moths!)
3 is a Common Carpet
4 is a Burnet Companion
5 is Anthophila fabriciana, commonly known as the Nettle Tap.

Thank you very much for your help

Whatever you think you don't know about moths, you certainly know a great deal more than I do!

Thanks again

Thea
