Joy, what patience you must have to photograph such tiny subjects that tend to flit about. I am terrible at insect photography, so I admire anyone who is as good as you are at capturing these tiny beings.

I think the long grayish-brown moth is a Destolmia lineata. We have a similar one here in Florida that's of the same family, Notodontidae. Ours is the Datana major, commonly known as the Azalea Caterpillar Moth. I rescued a Polka-Dot Wasp Moth a few years ago and immersed myself in reading about all sorts of moths.

I was always a writer but lived in a bookkeeper’s body before I found Medium and broke free — well, almost. Working to work less and write more.
