Sichuan Moth IDs (1 Viewer)

Following a recent theme, I have some moth photos from Longcanggou, Sichuan in early June this year. We found large numbers of moths on the ground around the lights near the visitor centre. Not sure what the altitude is there but maybe 2000-2500 asl.

I'll go through the moths one by one. This is number 1. Approximate IDs are okay!

Moth 13 - looks like another hawkmoth.
Moth 14 - some sort of Geometrid (a bit out of focus).
