I believe the first one is a "Pistachio Emerald" moth. The 2nd looks like a "Maple Spanworm" couldn't quite see the head in the image.

Hi fontaija and Paul,

I believe the first photo is more likely a "Pale Beauty" moth.

I think you may be right on that, moths are much harder for me to ID than butterflies. Thanks for the post, nice looking image.
