Photo 1-like pyadenitsa, if I'm not mistaken, caught such.. Maybe Anaites, found in old records, but Google gives something strange, clearly not related to insects..
Photo 2 is difficult to say, but definitely a moth.. Attracted to the light?
Photo 3 - not a shovel and not a thinworm, but a kind of crested bird.. But I can't find the name (any)
Photo 4-also looks like a moth
Photo 5 - at the wrong moment I opened it, I forgot all the names, but this scoop was definitely

About! Cosmia lutea, it seems that!
photo 6-moth again (I don't know their species, because there are too many of them, and they themselves are not very interesting to me, of course European, in Asia OGOGO moth!)
Photo 7-looks like a leaf moth
Photo 8-relatives photos 1
Photo 9-female Prionus coriarius
Photo 10 - some kind of road wasp..
Photo 11-scoop, probably the genus Agrotis, and maybe not

A constructive suggestion to forum participants who actively attend this topic.
Let's not define insects like "this is some kind of moth".
Probably, the forum topic was created so that here you can help each other in identifying insects as accurately as possible.

And then it turns out, as in the old joke: "Dad, what kind of bird is this? "it's a bird, son! "what kind of tree is this?" "it's a tree, son. "Don't bother Dad with questions! "leave the child alone, or he'll be left uneducated."

Supporting this rational suggestion, I would like to add that it would be a good idea for the questioners to indicate where and when it was taken. Maybe the developers of the engine of this forum should add such a warning to everyone who posts in this thread? And then I, for example, do not try to identify unsigned photos, maybe they are from somewhere in Australia, what is the time to lose?

Hmm, if we take into account that determining an insect to a species from a photo is more than a thankless task, and part of it goes into the realm of speculation, then this proposal is very irrational. I suggest that the authors of photos indicate to what extent the animal is unknown. For example, " what kind of butterfly?" it implies fame only at the squad level and information about the family will already be available at the box office. And "help me identify the thinworm" - already below the family, etc.
