Brassy Long-horn

Scattered and local across the county, especially in calcareous areas, but can often be very common where it occurs.&nbsp; It is at its most common on the hills around Bath and the Poldens, with surprisingly few records from the Mendips.&nbsp; The foodplant is Field Scabious.

Birch Lift

A birch-feeding species, and unsurprisingly strongly associated with areas where birch occurs naturally - the western uplands and the surviving carr vegetation on the Levels around Shapwick Heath.&nbsp; It has also been found at Leigh Woods and Asham Wood where birch scrub has established itself on areas of old limestone quarry workings.<br>

Yellow-barred Long-horn

This unmistakeable moth is locally common, occasionally abundant, across much of the county in the sunny fringes of woodland areas.&nbsp; It seems more widespread in the south and west, and is absent from those substantial areas of the Levels where no woodland exists.<br>
