| | | Elephant Hawkmoth and others ....
Am I right in thinking that the photo below is of the Small Elephant Hawkmoth, adult and caterpillar?
1. 
2. The Cinnabar? 
3. Clouded Border? 
4. 
5. Carpet sp? 
6. Heart and Clubs?  |

I think 5 may be a Mottled Beauty - there is a big "u" shaped curve in one of the cross lines which reminds me of this species.
Agree with 1 and 2 and for no. 3 I'd go for Clouded Border too and for 6 perhaps a Heart and Dart rather than Heart and Club. I'll try and find time later to get back to you about the last one

Agree with your IDs for 1,2,3 + 6, though caterpillar looks like Elephant HM.
4 looks like Pale Prominent at funny angle
5 isn't a carpet, possibly a dark Willow Beauty |

I think Pale Prominent too - the angle put me me off as well.
