Pauper Pug

Sometimes called Fletcher's Pug, a rare, local, species which is a limes specialist in ancient woodland, parkland and avenues. First recorded in the UK in 1962 and in the county in 1999, and since then irregularly in small numbers in a handful of locations in the south-west and north of the county.&nbsp; Comes to light readily.

Dwarf Pug

Distinctly local, associated with woodlands containing conifers.&nbsp; Most records are from the Blackdowns and Quantocks.&nbsp; Perhaps under-recorded on Exmoor, where suitable plantations exist but are a rarely-visited habitat.

Larch Pug

Scarce and local, though possibly under-recorded through lack of interest in surveying the conifer plantations that provide ideal habitat for this species.&nbsp; Commonest in the Blackdowns and Quantocks, and also at Stockhill in the Mendips.&nbsp; Likely to be considerably under-recorded on Exmoor where plenty of suitable habitat exists.
