Horse Chestnut

A moth that is restricted to lowland heathland in southern England, where it has decreased considerably since 1970. Its name is strange because the larval foodplant is Heather.&nbsp; In the county it is rare and local, found mainly in the west, around Exmoor and the Quantocks.&nbsp;

Barred Umber

A scarce moth associated with woodland, perhaps especially oak woods.&nbsp; Commonest in the Blackdowns, Quantocks and the wooded fringes of Exmoor.&nbsp; Very rare in VC6, perhaps restricted to a handful of isolated colonies.

Scorched Wing

Frequently recorded across the county in small numbers, more numerous although rarely really common in woodland.
