Common Case-bearer

Probably the commonest of our coleophorids, recorded from almost all parts of the county, occasionally at light but most often as a larval case.&nbsp; The foodplant is usually birch, but it has also been recorded in the county from hazel, elm, alder and once on hawthorn.<br>

Grey Birch Case-bearer

A single record of this birch-feeder, to light in Leigh Woods in 2001.&nbsp; Although not recorded from there, plenty of suitable habitat exists in the west of the county.<br>

Blackthorn Case-bearer

A blackthorn-feeding coleophorid, requiring dissection of the adult for a definite identification.&nbsp; Fairly frequently recorded, though as yet not from west of Taunton or north of the Mendips.<br>
