I do not see any species that are locally confined, namely only to different types of swamps, there are species that inhabit wetland stations, that is, in general, lake-swamp-river natural complexes (river floodplains, lake-peat forest-swamp stations in combination with streams and rivers.), but these same species can also occur in other natural areas.-landscape areas.
Close to swamp stations, except that Phragmataecia castaneae develops on reeds and some scoops from Mythimna (for example, M. straminea), lichen Pelosia muscerda, which I see here. The rest are quite common, widespread species. I don't even see fireflies from the Acentropinae, which live mainly on the shores of lakes, swamps and ponds.

I think that here the person was more interested in the types of riding bogs, rather than near-water ones. These include Protolampra sobrina, Coenophila subrosea, which dominates these collections, and Syngrapha interrogationis. Of course, they are not limited to swamps, but they are confined to heather shrubs, and I have in Pestovo most likely associated with swamps, since there are almost no decent forests with an abundance of shrubs in the area.

I wonder what that dark speck is in the upper-left corner. And in the right (and not only) there also seems to be something unusual, like Colostygia aptata.

I say that these species are not limited to" swamps", and I listed what develops precisely on swamp vegetation from the species from the photo.
P. sobrina, Coenophila subrosea, Syngrapha interrogationis fly through my window in the city, and I live far from the swamps, since their life cycle is not connected with each other. only with swamp vegetation, they are found near rivers and lakes, and not only in swamps. For them, moistened natural landscapes are the very thing. We should try to hold training camps closer to autumn, because I think it might be more interesting there.

Yes, I was interested in the species that are characteristic of the upper sphagnum swamps, where rosemary, cloudberry, cranberry and blueberry grow.
From the daytime ones, I met tullia haywort, peatweed yellow, optilete pigeon, and aquilonaris mother-of-pearl.
So I thought that something similar should also be present from the night...
