Glyphipterix equitella
Stonecrop Fanner
GlyphipterigidaeABH 19.004 B&F 393There are two records of this moth from long ago, at Misterton and at Batcombe. It was found as recently as 1991 just across the Wiltshire border by targeted searching around its hostplant, Biting Stonecrop Sedum acre, and it may well be awaiting rediscovery in the county in rocky places or along old stone walls, which abound in parts of Mendip.
