#6 looks like an Emerald (Geometer), maybe Xerochlora viridipallens.  Wait for 
an expert's call. 
I will be interested to know what #7 is; I had it last night.  It holds its 
wings like a butterfly.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

  I couldn't find a solid white sheet on short notice. The moths didn't seem to 
mind. 

  I'm numbering these to make them easier to refer to.Some of the shots of the 
tiny ones may not be good enough for an ID. I really appreciate the help y'all 
have been giving with these ID's. 

  1. These 2 are of the same moth. About 1cm long.

  And one for fun. Take a close look right next to the light at all the pollen 
we're breathing in right now!
