Moths, Romania

Moth 1 (about 3cm long - pics 1/2) and 2 (about 2cm long - pics 3/4) were taken at approx 1700m altitude in the Piatra Craiului National Park in the Carpathian Mts, and the last moth was inside our flat in Bucharest. Thanks for any help in IDing these.

Thanks very much for the IDs, the spots on the leopard moth looked pretty cool close up in the photos. I wonder what the my other species are...

Any more thoughts on those moths, Cristian? Or anyone for that matter?

Sorry to renew an old thread - but would anyone agree with green arches for the moth in the very first 2 pics?

Not for me - something like Cabbage - http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=4434 - or less likely Dot Moth - http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=2

All the best
