A few moths to ID from end June

I got a bit overwhelmed with the number of moths that I had at the end of June, and I'm not confident of the ID of these few (especially the worn ones), so I'd appreciate some help.

1,

2. carcina quercana?

3. Eudonia lacustrata?

4.

5. Crambus?

6.

7.

8.

9.

10. Worn black arches?

Thanks, Jacqui

  2. No.2 is too dark to identify readily - but Carcina quercana has antennae as long as (or longer) than the wings. Another possibility is Aleimma loeflingiana.
    No.5 is likely to be Chrysoteuchia culmella (characteristic angled crossline near termen).
    No.7 another example of the Suspected? (see comments to Steve's post on Saturday).

  3. I agree with Mark's initial IDs and John's follow up on 5. 2 is unidentifiable from that image, at least for me!. Not sure on 7 as it's a species I'm not familiar with.
