Cliff Plume

Long known from the island of Steep Holm, in the Bristol Channel, though the difficulty of accessing the island makes records few and far between.&nbsp; The adult comes to light, but the species is also frequently found as a larva.&nbsp; The larval host plant is Rock Sea-lavender, <i>Limonium binervosum</i>, and the larvae utilise plants surrounded by bare rock a few metres above the high tide mark.&nbsp; Similar conditions should occur at the relatively well-recorded Brean Down, and it is surprising that the moth has not been found there to date.

Widespread and common, largely as
