Not even sure the 1st is a moth...

1 & 2 look quite similar, 4 & 5 are the same. 1 - 3 are from last month.

Hi again! 😲 Pic 3, looks like a micro moth, maybe, a Crambidae , but which one......... I haven't got a clue!
 
From a flick through Denny - I know it's heresy in some quarters but I find his guide easier for identifications than Waring...
Hi. I'll have to check that out, thanks! For micros, I have, Micro moths of GB & Ireland, by, Phil Stirling & Mark Parsons, illustrations by, Richard Lewington, excellent guide! I rushed in earlier with I'd, because a lot of Crambidae have long palps!......... I even got the family wrong! 😲 😂 There you go, you learn something new every day!
