To learn more about leaf-miners and related groups, most information about the adults you can find it in the series of Heath/Emmets MBGBI. It is truly sad that this books are very expensive. Fortunate you can always photograph some unknown species and put it on this forum, mail groups or you can sen...

The 3th is Udea prunalis, last one a Tortricid Bactra spec. (lancealana or lacteana).

Larvas of noctuids in early stage are sometimes very hard to identify, also the one on this picture is one of them which I can't give a name to it. The plant seems to be a sort of painted lady (not the butterfly...but Gladiolus), a common species on this type plants is Phlogophora meticulosa. I am a...

When I visit this page http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=75 I get the impression its common in the UK.

Almost Dave! It's the light emerald (margaritata).
