1. Yes
2. Very interesting picture, is the butterfly assembled? Because of the angle, there are several options, one of the most likely in appearance, but incredible in geography. Pseudobissetia terrestrellus ))
3. Pterothrixidia rufella.
4. Yes
5. Yes, or, less likely, Celypha capreolana (known from Ukraine in one specimen). ) collected by Zhakov in the Vinnytsia region. ))) Bidzilya et al. 2014)
6. Cochylidia rupicola, very interesting
7. I can't say without a side angle or a straightened one.

Thank you so much for your help!

2. Yes, the butterfly is assembled. I didn't want to pose, so I only took two pictures and both were blurred.
6. Also signed it that way.
7. Butterfly straightening, I think Gypsonoma sp.

There is a Thuja Tree nearby.

Pammene mariana (Zerny, 1920)
Material: Zaporizhia region, pos. Altagir, 6 and 9.06.1999, V. Hetmanchuk, 1 ♂, 1 ♀.
Distribution. The Balkans (Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey), Romania, the North Caucasus, and Asia Minor (Kuznetsov, 1978; Zlatkov, 2008). In Ukraine, it was known from the Crimea (Vasilyeva, 1987). The current discovery in the Zaporizhia region is undoubtedly related to the accidental introduction of this species to a large arboretum located in the village of Altagir. Apparently, the eggs, caterpillars, or pupae of P. mariana were imported with the Crimean planting material of the tall juniper (Juniperus exselsa Bieb.), which is the only food plant of this leafworm species in Ukraine (Budashkin, 2009b).

Juniper. we have already started moving in the south from other points. maybe you do, too. I am more inclined to this type.

Alexander, I did not pay much attention to the rear wings, unfortunately they look even worse than the front, but I can clearly say that they are evenly gray, in addition to a light stroke along the costal vein from above. Which also indicates graphana, compared with the genitalia of specimens collected earlier, has differences in the length of the cucullus, as well as its apex. In the last specimen, the cucculus is shorter and slightly narrowed to the apex, the outer edge is more rounded. Although it is possible in the first case, the valvae are located slightly in a different angle. I didn't find any special differences in width in the sections. Unkus is a bit confusing, it is wider in all the drawings for graphana.
Still I think I'll agree with you on this copy
