The first two can not be identified to species level owing to the angle of shot.

However, the first is a Dysphania species (Geometridae).

The last is a Maruca species (Crambidae - Spilomelinae). There are a number of very similar species, most of which still have not been named.

But the middle one must be a Lymantria sp., don't you agree Les?

I can not think of anything else. But can not go any further.
