I think the first is Chilo phragmitella (2 pictures) the other could be Yponomeuta rorrella? If it looks a possible is this one that can be done by dissection?
Your first one is Calamotropha paludella. The second looks to me more like one of the Yponomeuta species which can't be separated (you can't see shading properly when an image is taken inside a pot). I'm afraid dissection won't help.
Hi Mark,

thanks Dave, Calamotropha paludella is a new one for me.
