    Post 1 No. 4 & 5.

    These two are not moths. They look like true bugs, Hemiptera/Homoptera.
    The snout is a thin central tube unlike the twin labial palps of moths.
    The head & antennae & the long legs all do not match.

    PS. I may yet be wrong, but I haven't come across anything among the Pyraloids that suggest it is close to these two.

    PS2 .By zooming in on the pix, the central 'palps' is actually the extended proboscis, so these two are really moths after all.
    Strangely I can find nothing close to resembling them
