Notch-wing Neb

Recorded new to Somerset from its leaf-mine at Priddy Mineries in 2022.&nbsp; The usual hostplant is the bog plant Cotton-grass <i>Eriophorum angustifolium</i>.&nbsp; Could the moth also occur on Exmoor, where the plant is widespread, and in the Gordano valley?

Scarce Marsh Neb

"Turf Moor, near Shapwick Station; two specimens 28 June 1936 and a further two 1 July 1937.&nbsp; This species has hitherto only been taken in the Cambridgeshire fens; it is, it is believed, unknown on the Continent".&nbsp; (A. R. Hayward (1939), Proceedings of the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society).

This is the only county record; the area has been well-recorded since, and it is difficult to believe the species is still resident here.
