Square Spot

Essentially a moth of upland,
acidic woodland conditions; much more frequently recorded in the south and west
of the county, rare in the treeless, intensively farmed centre and east.

Pale Oak Beauty

Restricted largely to south-east England and East Anglia, this species has always been rare in the county. It is a moth of broadleaved woodland and scrub but sometimes may also be found in gardens and parks. Larvae feed on Oak, Birch and other trees. Adults sometimes rest on tree trunks by day. In the county it has been recorded irregularly in small numbers at scattered locations. Care is required to distinguish it from Great Oak Beauty and Willow Beauty.

The Engrailed

Widespread and common, though rarely in great numbers, and the overall numbers recorded seem to be declining.&nbsp; Double-brooded in the county.
