Butterflies in boggy areas

[floraworks]

Hi all,

I'm new here and not sure if I'm in the right forum, but I hope you can help me. I'm a botanical artist, currently painting a selection of bog plants, growing in Wales:

1. Dactylorhiza maculata (Marsh orchid)
2. Lychnis flos-cuculi (Ragged robin)
3. Rumex acetosa (Sorrel)
4. Myosotis palustris (Water-forget-me-not)
5. Juncus effusus (Common rush)

Not being overly familiar with butterlfies, could you name butterflies and/or moths who's typical habitat would be a boggy area in Mid-Wales, please.

Thank you all in advance.

Large Heath is a butterfly of boggy habitats + certainy occurs in north Wales, though I've only seen them in Scotland within the UK (it doesn't occur in the south).

Orange-tip, green-veined white, small heath, perhaps small pearl-bordered fritillary - although these species are by no means restricted to bogs.

you could also look at dragonflies.they make good artistic subjects and i am sure there would be a few species found in mid wales. The Common hawker would be one and maybe the four spotted chaser.these would often perch on vegetation.

Thank you very much to everybody, great help! I've been planning to add a damselfly, but have some other areas that need filling... I will check out all your suggestions, they are greatly appreciated!
