Mottled Umber would be a good candidate for the first of these.

Hiya Buggy - green larva are often very tough to get to species level, and its
always important to include length of any larva when requesting ID help. Not a lot of help otherwise I'm afraid, but among larval foodplant lovers of Knapweed there are several Pugs worth checking out.
