Few moths and butterflies from The Camargue (1 Viewer)

Any help with id'ing these would be most appreciated. Large skipper was my first thought when I saw this yesterday (numer 4), but not 100% sure. No idea with the small brown job whilst the two moths were very large. Red Underwing (number 1), I think but don't know the fifth, which flew rather like a humming bird hawk moth.
2 and 3: no idea
Many thanks,
Jono

I think you are right with 1,4 and 5 and I think 2 is possibly another type of Skipper(Dingy ?) but not sure which and 3 is a Grayling.

No. 2 is a Skipper of the genus Carcharodus, most likely Carcharodus alceae, which is the most common and widespread in France, plus the marks look closer to that one.

No. 3 is a Greyling, yes, but cannot be 100% sure which one. Too much pattern is hidden and the underwing looks a bit odd for the common Greyling. Would have to do a bit of research to confirm.

No. 4 is definitely a Large Skipper (Ochlodes venatus) and No. 5 the Hummingbird Moth (Macroglossum stellatarum).
