Moths from the trap (1 Viewer)

Overread

Hunting birds with a canon
A handful of moths from the moth trap, a few ID I'm pretty certain on, others I'm unsure and some I can't work out.

Any advice or tips would be of great help.

1) Lime Hawkmoth (Mimas tiliae)

2) Clouded Silver (Lomographa temerata)

3) Not sure about this one, fairly sure its one of the Acronictinae.

4) Poplar Hawkmoth (Laothoe populi) (sadly this one didn't want to pose nice and still like the Lime did)

5) Buff Ermine (Spilosoma luteum)

Thanks Aeshna and Andy! I'll try to keep those two spots in mind with regard to Knotgrass in the future. Interestingly I found the poplar to be a lot easier to see the patterns on its body when zoomed out; the almost messy and mixed pattern is harder to see when closer up.
