Ear Moth

Found in a range of open habitats, it is more likely to be found inland than other 'Ear' species, favouring damp habitats. As with its cousins, identification can only reliably be made by dissection.

Saltern Ear

A moth of saltmarshes and sand dunes. It may sometimes be possible to separate the species from Ear Moth by certain characteristics but generally dissection will be required to identify it. Unsurprisingly, most county records have been coastal.

Large Ear

A species of wet acid moorland , marshes and rough pastures that cannot reliably be distinguished from other 'Ear' species unless dissected.

Large Ear

Amphipoea lucens
