Netted Pug

A moth whose decline in the county is no doubt attributable to the disappearance of its foodplants - 'white' campions such as Bladder Campion Silene vulgaris - from the countryside.&nbsp; Most recent records are coastal, from two main areas - the Exmoor coast west of Minehead, and the coast between Weston-super-Mare and Bristol.&nbsp; The likely foodplant here is Sea Campion Silene uniflora.

Lead-coloured Pug

A nationally scarce species associated with Common Cow-wheat in open woodland, and possibly Yellow Rattle in open habitats. Historically rare and local in the county, where it is recorded irregularly in very small numbers, mainly in the Exmoor region and the Quantocks.

Marsh Pug

A nationally scarce species which has always been very rare in&nbsp;the county but may be overlooked. Its habitat preferences are open, marshy, habitats, wet meadows and fens, coastal sand dunes and waste ground, where its food plant, Field Mouse-ear, can be found.&nbsp; The larvae feed on the flowers and seeds of the foodplant. It may fly in sunshine and will sometimes come to light.
