I think no. 4 is a kind of silkmoth.
The nearest I can get is this.
The wingshape, large rounded thorax & pattern, except for the white band are rather similar.

I do not think No. 4 is a moth. I have also seen very similar specimens before, but been unable to get an id. I think it belongs to the Ricaniidae family of Hemiptera.

You are quite right. Here is the ID.

The hairy #1 cat could very well be a 5th instar caterpillar of the Common Duffer ( Discophora sondaica despoliate )
