Hello Matthew, begin the last  Also I believe if you do not see the characteristic pattern on the wing I would say this is almost certainly Mythimna (Hyphilare) l-album (Linnaeus 1767). As soon as I can see trying to make a more direct comparison. For the other I have to look again

For the subject portrayed in the third pic I would say Platyperigea aspersa (Rambur, 1834), here you can see a picture with a exemplar almost identical to your (fourth photo) |

Thanks Claudio. That's great. They are both new species for me.

Back on the determination of Mythimna (last photo) that I rechecked with more calm. I think we can confirm that this is Leucania (Leucania) putrescens (Hübner, [1824]) = Mythimna putrescens (Hübner, [1824]), a species very similar to Mythimna (Hyphilare) l-album (Linnaeus, 1767), but that is different from that just because it has the characteristic "L" (white) at the center of forewings. Here a comparison. I add for ulterior comparison is also a picture from the "CD Noctiuden Europas"
Leucania (Leucania) putrescens (Hübner, [1824])

The second photo I think it is Coscinia sp. (Arctiidae) probably Coscinia cribaria (Linnaeus, 1758) but as a species with highly variable pattern I have found specimens with a real match  You can have a look here or here We await other opinions

Does anybody have any suggestions for the geometrid moth? Probably Idaea sp. but with a distinctive pinkish colour, also from August in Catalonia. |

Hello Matthew, I am sorry but all my searches have not yielded effect  Genus is correct, I believe it is Idea sp. but unfortunately I will stop here
