Satin Wave

A scarce and local moth, observed most years in small numbers.&nbsp; The stronghold appears to be the northern edge of the Blackdowns, between Taunton and Chard; it is less frequent than it was in the Quantocks and around Minehead, and very scattered in occurrence and increasingly rare elsewhere, usually on or near calcareous grassland sites.

Dwarf Cream Wave

A local species, common around Minehead, Taunton and the Parrett estuary north to Weston-super-Mare.&nbsp; Quite scarce in the east of the county, and seems to have disappeared from the Yeovil/Crewkerne area where it used to be frequently recorded.&nbsp; Numbers of the moth collapsed following the poor summer of 2007 and have never fully recovered.

Small Dusty Wave

A fairly frequently recorded moth, but with a patchy distribution, fairly common in the south and west of the county and also in the north, but rare in much of the centre and east.&nbsp; Double-brooded in Somerset.
