| | | Green Carpet and others
The first of these I think I've IDed ok but Id be glad of confirmation or correction, and the rest I'm struggling with .....
1. Green Carpet 
2. Common White Wave? 
3. Barred Fruit-tree Tortrix? 
4. Flame Carpet? 
5. Burnished Brass? 
6. Weird-looking beastie! 
7. Not too convinced of the colour on this one ..... 
8. 
9.  |

7. looks like a Garden Dart, and 8. a Small Fan Foot (I had one in my house last night).
I'm new to identifying moths and butterflies so I'm in the process of learning much! |

6 looks like a Coxcomb Prominent and No. 3 could be a Dark Fruit-tree Tortrix rather than the Barred one - there are a few similar looking species of Tortrix and I'm not too familiar with them. The rest look OK to me and Flame Shoulder as Jason suggests looks OK too.

Thanks folks!
Having checked the Tortrix on ukmoths Dark Fruit-tree Tortrix seems closest to the one I've photographed, though I couldn't find a 3-barred.
Any suggestions for 9?
(Couple of books ordered and arriving soon!) |

(Couple of books ordered and arriving soon!) | Can't be certain, but I think there's a good chance that No. 9 is a Common Marbled Carpet. Common in my garden at this time of year, they often stand with the wings closed. Some other carpets also do this. | | |
