Brown Mompha

Restricted by the distribution of its foodplants, rock-roses Helianthemum spp., to calcareous areas.&nbsp; It appears to be widespread in the western Mendips and occurs more locally elsewhere.&nbsp; There are relatively few records of this species to light - it has also been recorded by daytime observations of the adult and of the larval mines in May and June.

Common Mompha

Widespread and one of the commoner species in this genus.&nbsp; Usually recorded at light and frequently (but not exclusively) in gardens, it can also be found from its larval galls on great willowherb, <i>Epilobium hirsutum</i>.

Clouded Mompha

Recorded in small numbers most years, usually of adults to light, though also from larval mines on enchanter's nightshade, <i>Circaea lutetiana</i>.&nbsp; This species is widespread but with a concentration of records on the northern fringes of Exmoor, an area which is generally under-recorded for moths.
