    Horehound Plume

    PterophoridaeABH 45.035 B&F 1515

    A nationally rare moth restricted by a nationally rare foodplant, white horehound Marrubium vulgare.  Known from the Crook Peak – Wavering Down area, Brean Down and Wall Common, just about the only sites for the plant in the county.  An old record for Stawell, where the foodplant has never been recorded but it is plausible it once occurred.
