Variable Smudge

Recorded in small numbers most years, usually as a wanderer
to garden light traps.&nbsp; It flies late in
the autumn and overwinters as an adult, reappearing in the spring, and is
perhaps under-recorded as a result, especially in its woodland home.

Wood Smudge

Another rare, oak-feeding Ypsolopha.&nbsp; Recent records come from around
Weston-super-Mare, Taunton and Porlock.

White-shouldered Smudge

This is essentially a woodland species, where it can occasionally
be abundant.&nbsp; A scarce wanderer to garden
light-traps.&nbsp; Fairly widely distributed
in wooded areas, though oddly absent from the woods on the Wiltshire border.
