Red-headed Chestnut

A moth of woodland and open habitat that is an immigrant and temporarily resident species, with over 100 records of immigrants in southern England, mainly since 2000. There have been two, modern, county records, in 2003 and 2004.&nbsp;

Dark Chestnut

Widespread across the county in low numbers, and scarcer than the confusion species, Chestnut <i>Conistra vaccinii</i>.&nbsp; The late-and-early flight period means that it is probably under-recorded.

Dotted Chestnut

Somerset has long been a stronghold for this beautiful moth, traditionally scarce nationally but currently expanding its range northwards.&nbsp; That said, although the moth is widespread here, it is invariably found in low numbers.
