Autumnal Shade

Rare and local, though almost certainly under-recorded because it flies during the winter.&nbsp; Currently only known from Merryfield Airfield.&nbsp; A. H. Turner used to record it regularly at Bickenhall in the 1940s and 1950s.&nbsp; There is an older record from Brislington.&nbsp; The moth breeds on Blackthorn <i>Prunus spinosa</i>, and may be present at other sites.

Summer Fruit Tortrix

Rare, and seemingly confined to the far south of the county.&nbsp; The first county record of this essentially south-eastern species was in 2013 so it may be a new colonist.

Deep Brown Shade

Rare, with only seven records, just two from this century.&nbsp; It appears not to come to light, and as a result may be under-recorded.

Neosphaleroptera nubilana
