The Suspected

A widely distributed resident and immigrant moth of fens, woodland, heathland and moorland, scarcer in the west. Turner (1955) listed it as rare and local. Most modern county records unsurprisingly come from the Quantocks and Avalon Marshes. The larval foodplant is birch.

Centre-barred Sallow

Fairly common and widespread, though ash dieback poses a serious threat to the future of this species.

Minor Shoulder-knot

A much-declined moth, formerly found across the entire county.&nbsp; Recent records have mostly been from the Blackdowns woodlands and from Great Breach Wood on the Poldens.
