Took a quick look at lunch:

3, 4 (& 7?) - 7687 Phyllodesma americana, American Lappet Moth
Very nice find.  One I don't recall having seen before.  Related
to the tent caterpillars (Lasiocampidae)


1 & 5 - Green Cloverworm Moth

2 - correct

6 & 10 - looks like 7239 Sharp Green Hydriomena, Hydriomena pluviata but
would be good to see with wings spread ... this is a common posture for
this species but also a few others like Grey Spring Moth (which this isn't)

8 & 9 - Eupithecia sp

11 - 8713 Zale lunifera

12 - correct

14 & 15 - familiar but can't drag the name out of my brain at the moment
