IDs and ouch

Got stung this morning. After carefully removing the wasps in the trap, including the "dead ones", it seems one was crawling under the trap and I got stung emptying out the final large yellow underwings at my release point.

I got a Flounced Rustic that looked a bit difeernt, both in the way it sat and some of the markings - but I'm not sure what else it would be.

The second moth - some kind of Chestnut?

Got a worn looking Centre-barred Sallow yesterday - it's feeling very autumnal. Where's my Convolvulus Hawk-Moth then?
