More moths spotted in Speen in mid July

Yet again I have tried my best to identify these moths, but I'm sure that I've got at least a couple wrong. I feel like I'm getting better at identifying them, though, and I always appreciate corrections.

A common footman

A golden triangle (poor photo but a. it was on the ceiling and b. my camera lens isn't good enough to get a clear photo of the really small moths)

A many plume moth (wow!)

A mottled rustic (not confident about this one)

Is this one a pug?

And I think this one is a mottled carpet


How have I done this time?

Thanks, Jacqui

    Thanks Mark. Oh dear - I didn't do very well. On the plus side, I meant to type scorched carpet rather than mottled.

    Keep trying Jacqui - you'll get there! I agree with Mark's IDs.
