Ancylosis oblitella

    Saltmarsh Knot-horn

    PyralidaeABH 62.053 B&F 1467

    A scarce species.  Half the records date to 2006 and there have been none since. Nationally, the moth is both a resident and an immigrant, but the Somerset records seem likely to be the result of immigration; that said, the species is a saltmarsh specialist and its habitat is very rarely recorded.
