Small Ranunculus

A recent colonist, mostly utilising neglected urban areas with populations of Prickly Lettuce Lactuca serriola.&nbsp; The moth established itself in Newport and Bristol in the early years of this century, with the first Somerset records being in Weston-super-Mare and Bath in 2010.&nbsp; The moth has since spread out geographically, and can be found along roadsides with Prickly Lettuce and in gardens if cultivated lettuces are allowed to go to seed.&nbsp; Although still mainly a northern moth within the county, it reached Taunton in 2021 and ought to be present around Bridgwater and Yeovil as well now.
