Five for ID please

Last night wasn't great for moth trapping as there were clear skies, but at least I got my first Gold Triangle.

I'm struggling with these five, any help appreciated as usual!

1

2

3

I should know this one, I'm sure

4

5

Double-lobed, possibly?

Sorry Pete,
Brain on other things tonight, can't concentrate!

So far, I think:-
No.1 Small Angle Shades
No.2 Cloaked Minor
No.3 Straw Underwing
Will get back to you on the others as & when I get any inspiration.

Hi Nutmeg,
Do you agree with my suggestions?
I ask because I'm trying to test & improve my knowledge by having a go at ID'ing other peoples moths.

Right or wrong, it still fun to have a go!

Yes, I agree with your suggestions for 1-3

Like you, I practise by having a go at other people's moths. Often harder from a photo than in the flesh, though.

Thanks very much Cordaline, nutmeg and roundwood123.

Small Angle Shades and Cloaked MNinor are new ones for me. I KNEW number 3 was an underwing, just couldn't remember which one!
