Emperor Moth

In Somerset the moth seems to be associated with sizeable areas of heather.&nbsp; It is still reasonably well distributed on Exmoor and the Quantocks, much less frequent on the Mendips.&nbsp; The moth used to be regularly reported in the Shapwick/Westhay area, but has not been seen there since 2000.

The Lappet

Like many moths that feed on thorn trees, it has always been commonest east of Exmoor and south of the Mendips.&nbsp; In common with national trends, the moth is declining and most records now are from the south of the county between Taunton and Yeovil.

Kentish Glory

Last recorded in the north of the county in 1908.&nbsp; Now restricted to parts&nbsp; of Scotland.
