Coleophora atriplicis

    Saltmarsh Case-bearer

    ColeophoridaeABH 37.088 B&F 573

    A saltmarsh species, which seldom if ever wanders from its habitat.  Most records are from the coast between Steart and Sand Point, with an outlier at Porlock where suitable habitat exists.  Its range could plausibly extend a little further north, around Woodspring Bay, where little moth recording of any kind has been done.
