Confirmation/ ID mop up

Ran the trap last night encouraged by finding a Muslin Footman on the microwave yesterday - but not much turned up - seemed to be clear with a bright moon last night.

I've a few which I've tried to sort out.

I wanted to see if the first one that seems to be turning up every time is actually Scoparia ambigualis or something else.

I think the second and third one is Mompha ochraceela.

The final one - sorry no size but I have a feeling it was about the size of a Willow Beauty, but maybe I'm wrong about the size and it's a worn Riband Wave. I was hoping it would turn up again but it seems not.

    I think you have Eudonia (Dipleurina) lacustrata, yes to your Mompha and the last is the banded version of Mottled Beauty.
