    No. 1. should be Arctornis plumbacea. Erebidae, subfamily Lymantriinae.

    I have thought all Arctornis are white & rest with wings flat, but the smaller ones rest as such.
    In this posture & angle of shot the wingshape is distorted & the FW apex appeared very rounded off.

    Although the image in MoB is low-res & poor, the description & colour matched well.

    TL Seow :Cheers.
    PS. 5 is too difficult. 10,000+ spp. of Tortricidae.
    Note Clothes moths Tineidae have different headend & wingshape.
