Hi. Can somebody help me to id these moths. I suppose the first one belongs to the genus Calothysanis (maybe C.amata L.) and its caterpillars feed upon docks, knotweeds, oraches and other plants. But I have no idea about other two moths. Maybe they are geometrid too. But what genus?
Thanks advance.

The third one. This species occurred to be rather abundant.
Location of all moths: Central European Russia, winter cereals.

Only one of these is a Geometrid.

The first one is a Timandra sp, Sterrhinae,Geometridae, possibly T.comae, though there are two similar Timandra species in Russia, and I do not know the difference between them.

The second and the third ones are Noctuids, from the subfamily Eustrotiinae

2nd Pseudeustrotia candidula
3rd Emmelia trabealis
