    1. Small Yellow Moth.

    It is a Lyclene species, Arctiinae ,Erebidae.
    Among the ones with similar markings this one is unique in lacking a black band crossing the middle of the forewing.
    The only species like that in Moths of Borneo is L. biseriata which at the moment is endemic to Borneo.

    2. Tiny Graybrown Moth.
    Geometridae.
    Here it gets difficult but Scopula (subfamily Sterrhinae) species have the right size. colour & markings.

    No 5. - Cyana species ( as mentioned in the comments part of the Project Noah page). These can be very difficult to differentiate, and this is a large genus. I would not want to go further.

    No 6. - I do not know how variable the markings of this species can be, but it looks very much like Eurrhyparodes tricolaris (Crambidae)
