Hi Chris
Nice to see some exotic moths on a cold winter day.
I believe that your second picture is a bug, rather than a moth. A fulgorid hopper, possibly Menenia terebrifera.

ps did you want names for your moths?

Thanks for the reply. No need for names. The hoppers were eaten by Trogons in the morning.

Mmm. A nice waxy mouthful (the filaments on top and at the rear end).

If interested, moth 4 is a Diaphania sp.

Diaphania hyalinata to be precise, otherwise known as the Melonworm moth, a species that also occurs in the US.
All the best
