All found in Bristol. I think the first is a common emerald.

Thanks again Guy. You sure seem to be the man on moths! I guess its a microscope job with the Yponomeuta sp.

Don't know about that

Getting into moth trapping has definitely helped me get more familiar with the commoner species though.
Someone may be able to identify the Yponomeuta sp., I think some of them are distinctive, but at the moment I know very little about the micro moths!
