Morning Hopesey, and welcome to WAB! 
The third reminds me of one called Borkhausenia fuscescens ( that's the scientific name - they don't all have Englisgh names!)
Take care, Jason  |

1 & 2 need to photographed from the side
3. Agree with Janet
4. Eudonia mercurella
5. Not sure (not confident with most pugs) but prob Common Pug
6. Double-striped Pug as Janet suggested

#4 I'm always confused with these!
They can be so similar, and with variations it's difficult.
Can you tell me what I should be looking for nutmeg?
The shape is the thing which I'm seeing as longer and narrower than Eudonia mercurella but maybe that's not what I should be looking at.

To quote Hants Moths about Eudonia mercurella:
"Distinguished from other Scopariinae by the generally dark forewings and X-shaped configuration of cross-lines which occupies the whole of the subterminal region [Goater]."
I find I have to look several times - and even then am not always 100% confident. |

Thanks nutmeg, I have started using Hants Moths more as they give good information.
I think I had all my 'Scoparia ambigualis' marked as Eudonia mercurella once then for some reason changed them! Some examples make you wonder.
I have to go sort mine out, but some are still confusing!
I can't fit most of mine into either species!
