More moths than you can shake a stick at

This is what I was confronted when I went to empty the moth trap at 4.55 am today.

Where to start...?

At least hawkmoths are easy to identify (and photograph). This one's a Poplar.

I do like a nice Ruby Tiger.

Wasn't sure about this one. Thanks to Skev for IDing it correctly as a Straw Underwing
