I'am a total noob but 7 is definitely a silverfish! The 2 looks similar to the Dark-Spotted Palthis Moth (Palthis angulalis) in terms of the protrusion, could it be from the same family?

Pretty sure 3 is a Rustic Shoulder-knot actually.
And have a look at Argyresthia spinosella for #7.

Nige - Thank you so much for this help.
That brings the total species of my trap set on 7 June to 32 - of which 15 were new for me. I consider this a good start to the year.
Regarding learning about moths - I set my first trap 26 June last year and I have learned such a lot since then. But, as you say, there is such a lot to learn. And one only learns by practising, and asking for advice.
Which, being so, I have three more photos not identified yet.
The first two were a moth I did not like to disturb on the window of my shed. Hence the not ideal pictures although I think the second is quite arty!
The last looks a bit sorry for itself but I would like to give it a name

I've no idea what your first moth is, looks pretty worn unless that's just the light And the second moth is upside down isn't it? Can you turn it over? And your 3rd question, is it 10? Nige

I would say the first of that second batch was a Small Dusty Wave.
