The Miller

Widespread across the county
except, perhaps, inland Exmoor, although, as the vast majority of records are
of single individuals attracted to light, it cannot really be considered a
common species.

Grey Dagger

Widespread and common across the
county.&nbsp; Under-recorded because the
adults cannot be separated from the much rarer Dark Dagger without examination
of the genitalia.&nbsp; The larvae are distinctive
and fairly frequently observed, feeding on rosaceous trees and shrubs - apples, hawthorn, wild and cultivated roses, etc.

The Sycamore

A rarity in the county before
1990, when it established itself around Yeovil, in line with a national
increase in range.&nbsp; The moth has now
spread across the whole county, perhaps excepting inland Exmoor, but has become
markedly less frequently recorded since around 2006.
