Hi Jim,
Your first is an Ear Moth Amphipoea oculea. No idea about no. 2.

No.2 Possibly Chevron(Eulithis testata) Allan.W.
Re: Another 2 moths
I agree with AllanW that no. 2 is a Eulithis sp. Date, location and habitat might help to pin it down to Chevron or one of the other similar species in this genus?
Re: Another 2 moths
Photo was taken on 8th.September last year in Angus,Scotland.Any help? Jim
Re: Another 2 moths
Being that your second moth was from Angus Scotland ,throws another Eulithus species into the hat ,namely Northern
Spinach E Populata ,but for me I would still go for the Chevron,the timing fits as well. I believe that Northern Spinach is generally on the wing ,a little earlier.
