    ErebidaeABH 72.035 B&F 2037

    This moth is doing well in Somerset at present, increasing in numbers and expanding its range in the north-east of the county, where it was formerly absent.  It is now only absent from inland Exmoor.  Whilst it is regular at light in gardens in small numbers, the largest numbers occur in woodland sites, particularly on the Blackdowns and Quantocks.
