3. Matches Amata sperbius correctly.
As ID'ed by moth specialist Roger Kendrick in HK.

1. Chiasmia fidoneata looks right.
The darh patch on the FW band varies & may not be pronounced.

4. Hyblaea puera.
A pest of teak tree & relatively common.
The FW subapical margin lacks the white patch of H. constellata.
The upperside is widely variable.

No idea what the two micro moths , no. 2 & 5 should be.
Not sure if 5 is Stathmopoda.
All Stathmopoda seen have thinner antennae.
TL Seow : Cheers.

No. 2 is probably a Tortricid.
The thick black antennae, the unusual pebbly ground patterning; & the black banded legs are very similar to this.

TL Seow:Cheers.
PS. There is no match in the Online World Catalogue of Tortricidae , so it can't be a Tortricid.
