I'm intrigued by the crazily elongate #beetle in frame 1 - no idea what that is.

Frame 2 includes at least three of the tiny #moth Dialectica scalariella (#Gracillariidae, two of them near top-left corner)

Frame 4 includes Catacometes phazona (#Oecophoridae)

Next to it is Crocanthes glycina (#Lecithoceridae)

And there are two of the Spectrotrota fimbrialis (#Pyralidae)

What am I missing here? I can't find anything close to this #moth from #GluepotReserve last week.

The gestalt indicates #Gelechioidea and the labial palpi are recurved but not savagely so (unlike most #Australian #Oecophoridae or #Depressariidae which were my first guesses). The black legs suggest #Xyloryctidae and it's reminiscent of some NZ Gymnobathra apart from the palpi.

There are also hints of #Erebidae, but surely not ...
