Argyresthia glaucinella

    Oak-bark Argent

    ArgyresthiidaeABH 20.017 B&F 416

    Usually recorded from its larval workings on oak, but occasionally comes to light.  Most records are from upland south and west Somerset, where it is no doubt more widespread than maps suggest.  Much scarcer in the north and east of the county, but there are recent records from Great Breach Wood and Leigh Wood.
