The second one is a Grape Leaf Roller:

I'm surprised I can't find the first one. Not in the books, not on the bug id site.

Try Walnut Sphinx, Amorpha juglandis for the top one. Lots of color variations in that one but few with that wing shape.

Thanks gone-a-milkin. I'm glad someone else is enjoying them. I was afraid I might be annoying everyone.
