Lori, your third pic looks like Costaconvexa centrostrigaria, Bent-line Carpet.
Notice how the PM line ends half way across the wing. Nice photo!

I've had quite the luck here at the park finding moths this weekend (with the
exception of today). Here is what I've had since Thursday:
#09889 Wanton Pinion (Lithophane petulca)
#10994 Reddish Speckled Dart (Cerastis tenebriferia)
#06966 Curve-toothed Geometer (Eutrapela clemataria)
#10021 Grote's Sallow (Copivaleria grotei)
#06658 The Half-wing Moth (Phigalia titea)
#08393 Ambiguous Moth (Lascoria ambigualis)
#07474 Common Eupithecia (Eupithecia miserulata)
#03597 Red-banded Leafroller (Argyrotaenia velutinana)
#06586 Brown-shaded Gray Moth (Iridopsis defectaria)
#06326 Common Angle (Macaria aemulataria)
#10495 Speckled Green Fruitworm Moth (Orthosia hibisci)
#03542 Masked Leafroller (Acleris flavivittana)
#03543 Stained-back Leafroller (Acleris maculidorsana)
I also have three that so far have eluded identification. On the first one, I
was leaning toward Udea profundalis? The second was a very small (~4mm) and
had some wing damage so it may be impossible for a positive ID. And the last
one was a fairly small geometrid(?) that I just can't seem to pin down. It
looked to be about the same size as a Half-wing Moth--but it was very high up
on the education building window and I didn't have the time to get the ladder
out and climb up for a better shot.
