The first looks right. Because of the less mottled appearance, the second may
be 8500 Metalectra quadrisignata, Four-spotted Fungus Moth but I suppose it
could be a worn Metalectra discalis.

If I got the ID correct, the first moth is Hyperstrotia villficans, White-lined
Graylet. The second, based on images on the MPG and BG sites, is a , Common
Fungus Moth, but I'm not completely satisfied. Suggestions or corrections,
please.
