2. Common pug?
3. Mompha subbistrigella? Found dead in garage
4. Ephestia colourella? Hatched from eggs, larvae fed on wild bird seed

Hi Bob & Helen
I would agree with your ID's. As Ephestia unicolorella is a dissection only species can you record it as Micro sp. with Ephestia unicolorella in the comments field.
Regards
Steve
