The first one is a Eupithecia sp., there are several in this family, and I checked Porter's, and the De. Lept id photo's, but couldn't find a match. Maybe Kimmo's web site in Finland has it.
The second one I believe is Rhyparia purpurata, I couldn't find an English name.

Looking at the extreme variation found with this species as a caterpillar, from no markings to heavy markings, which is why I missed it doing the quick thumbnail 'scan' in De. Lept.(sorry), I would say yes.
I have also just slowly checked Kimmo's site too and there is nothing on his to match, or contradict!:t:
Cheers Jim
