    Lasiocampa quercus

    LasiocampidaeABH 66.007 B&F 1637

    Fairly widely reported from across the county, seemingly most frequent in large nature reserves.  Absent, for no obvious reason, from most of the eastern quarter of the county, though reappearing in the band of woods that make up the border with Wiltshire.
