Bryotropha senectella

    Grizzled Moss-moth

    GelechiidaeABH 35.046 B&F 782

    Predominately a coastal species, with the majority of records from between Weston-super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea.  Scarcer in west Somerset (last recorded 2001).  A thin scatter of records elsewhere in the county, with the lack of pattern to them suggesting it could potentially turn up anywhere.

    Adult Verification Grade: 2
