    Last one is probably Lymantria alexandrae.

    The intensity of the black markings varies from region to region.

    The 2nd is a Spodoptera species. There are 4 widespread species namely S. litura, mauritia, pecten & cilium.

    The markings are variable. This appeared to match the female S. mauritia best.

    The 3rd should be Endotricha olivacealis, another widespread & variable species.

    This individual is very worn & most of the scales are lost, but the inner narrow band is distinctive.

    Examples from HK & Korea.

    They are of the superfamily Pyraloidea, probably either Pyralidae or Crambidae (I suspect the latter as they are more widespread). Superficially the two families are very similar.

    They (4 & 5) are rather distinctive , but no match found.

    If they are widespread or pest species, there is always a chance they (or a closely allied species) will appear on the web.
    Judging from their pix on lichened tree trunks, they are forest species & probabaly restricted Sundainian forms.
