Hi Nev,

yes an Oegoconia - but they need dissecting out to be sure of the actual species.

Cydia splendana looks OK

Last two - yes a tortix but as to which one - pass

Cheers,
Steve

The last one is another Holly Tortrix Rhopobota naevana. Note the distinct notch below the apex of the wing.

Steve
