Jointed-rush Case-bearer

A single record, from Shapwick Heath in 1994.&nbsp; Whilst the moth is rare, the larval foodplant Jointed Rush Juncus articulatus is not, being found in every 10 km square in the county and especially well distributed in the Gordano Valley, parts of the Levels and Exmoor.

Larch Case-bearer

A fairly common coleophorid, occasionally recorded at light but more often as a larval case on larches.&nbsp; Most larches in Somerset are from plantations on Exmoor, from where we have very few records of the moth - probably because it has never been looked for - but the moth is certainly not restricted to plantations, as it has been found in urban and suburban areas of Bath and Weston-super-Mare.

Buff Rush Case-bearer

Fairly common but patchily distributed.&nbsp; Most records are of adults attracted to light, which require dissection; the species is typically found on nature reserves, but it is recorded occasionally in gardens.&nbsp; The larval cases, on various species of rush, have been found in the county occasionally.
