Gypsy Moth

A former resident in East Anglian fens, this species became extinct before 1900 but has since become re-established as a resident, immigrant and adventive.&nbsp; On mainland Europe, where it is often a pest, it is found in a variety of habitats, where the larvae feed on broadleaved trees and bushes. There has been just one confirmed record in the county, in 1992.

White Satin Moth

A resident and immigrant species, historically scarce and local, with records mainly in the north of the county.&nbsp; There has been an upsurge in records since the 1970s,&nbsp; presumably due to increased light trapping.&nbsp; The larvae feed on Sallow and Poplars.&nbsp;

Black Arches

Widespread and fairly common across the county, gaps in its distribution coinciding with under-recorded areas.&nbsp; A visitor to gardens in small numbers, but far more common in woodland.
