thread with some moths from last night (1/7)

(please don't be shy about correcting mis-IDs, I'm a moth newbie and appreciate all the help i can get!)

first, this one was so cute and subtly colorful! i love the feathery antennae.

think it's Orange Wing (Mellilla xanthometata)
next up, another colorful moth -- love that yellow/pink combination. believe it is Chickweed Geometer Moth, Haematopis grataria (2/7)
next, bad photo but adorable: HUGE black eyes and pointy snout. appropriately called Black Snout (also Green Cloverworm Moth), Hypena scabra (3/7)
best for last? I believe this is some kind of tiger moth, probably Virginian Tiger Moth (Spilosoma virginica? 7/7
not as confident about this one...Maple Webworm Moth? (Pococera asperatella) 4/7
it's an angel!

just kidding, think it's a Elm Spanworm Moth (Ennomos subsignaria) 5/7
Pink-barred Pseudeustrotia Moth (woah, a mouthful...) Pseudeustrotia carneola 6/7
