Hi Sandy

I always like a challenge - no matter how inadequate my identification
skills! :-)  Just a little observation, could you give us the dates
these photos were taken?

Anyway: 

1. How about 'Garden Pebble' (Evergestis firficalis, Pyralidae)? It is
certainly a Pyralid but I can't make out the pattern very well from
the photo.

2. ??? - Yuk - a Geometrid of some sort but I haven't seen one like
this :-(  It is going to be a light form of somethng dark or a dark
form of something light! :-)

3. Nasty one but try 'Six-striped Rustic' (Xestia sexstrigata)

4. Tortricidae - arrrrggghhhh!!!!!

See yah!
