OK, I've sussed no. 2 ....I think
Can't think how I missed this one, but it suddenly leapt off the page. No. 2 is Caloptilia robustella (although very similar to C. alchimiella). Any dissenters?

It's one or the other; can't tell from the photo. #1 is a Cnephasia, probably stephensiana but a gen job; #3 is a tort, Eucosma cana; #4 is Phycitodes sp., probably robustella but could be maritima (both are variable); #5 is a Scoparia but there's too much white-out on the photo to be able to tell what it is.

Handy pics these Grampy as I have two in the fridge awaiting ID at the moment and think one of them bears a striking resemblance to number 4. Cheers.
I get a fair few Cnephasia and don't try to ID them but I notice there seems to be quite a range of sizes. Could you be fairly sure that the whoppers are Grey Tortrix?
