Hi Kevin,

T487 is Tree Lichen Beauty
T567 looks like Horse Chestnut
T612 is The Cosmopolitan
T202 looks like Small Blood Vein
T865 looks like Common Lutestring
Tarifa 51 looks like a member of the Heliothinae, possibly Eastern Bordered Straw

Tarifa 51 is definitely Heliothinae, as Steve suggests. It may be Scarce Bordered Straw (Helicoverpa armigera). I've just been in the south of France, where I trapped quite a few of these - see pic on my site at: http://www.davidtomlinsonphotos.co.uk/m ... hinae.html.
