Trifurcula immundella

    Broom Pigmy

    NepticulidaeABH 4.068 B&F 46

    A miner on broom.  Rare in Somerset, doubtless restricted by the distribution of its foodplant, and probably under-recorded.  Only two recent records: King's Cliff Wood (2007) and Willet Hill (2019).  Historically known from the Blackdowns and Brislington.
