Purple-shot Pigmy

A leaf-miner on hawthorn, common in the east of the county, less well-recorded (and possibly scarcer) elsewhere.

Plain Elm Pigmy

A leaf-miner on elm and by far the scarcest of the three Stigmella species using this plant, though still not exactly rare.&nbsp; It is scattered in distribution across the county, with clusters of records around Orchard Wood/Thurlbear south of Taunton, around Hinkley Point (not yet mapped) and in the Porlock area.&nbsp; It is widely if diffusely recorded around Frome and Radstock, where there are many elm-rich hedgerows.

Scarce Thorn Pigmy

A rare leaf-miner of hawthorn, with a scattering of older records and not recorded in the county since 2004.

Stigmella paradoxa
