The Confused

A moth of rocky coasts and mountain moorland, found primarily in Wales, northern England and Scotland. Turner (1955) considered it to be very rare and local in the county. Since then it has been recorded irregularly and in small numbers, mostly at coastal locations. It needs to be distinguished with care from Dusky Brocade, and, to a lesser extent, Crescent Striped and Nutmeg.

Light Arches

Fairly widespread across the county, but never in numbers and the moth appears somewhat patchily distributed.

Reddish Light Arches

Rather uncommon and locally distributed on calcareous soils, being absent from the Levels and most of VC5.&nbsp; Seemingly commonest on the coast between Clevedon and Burnham-on-Sea.
