1. Common Lutestring
2. Rosy Rustic
3. Small Phoenix
Number 4 is too worn for me and I don't know the micro.

Thanks for help Misha, so thats 2 new species I have seen now. Number 4, I saw a few of them and they all looked like that, well similar markings and it was about the same size, if not slightly smaller than the Small Phoenix.

I'd place the micro inside Plutellinae, but that's as far as I'm willing to go.
