Dark Dagger

The adults require genital
examination to be distinguished for certain from the much commoner Grey Dagger,
and because of this the moth is probably under-reported.&nbsp; The larvae can be distinguished more easily,
but are seldom found in Somerset.&nbsp;
Geographically restricted, absent from large areas of eastern and
western Somerset.

Scarce Merveille du Jour

A vulnerable species of oak woodland that is restricted as a resident to coastal regions in south-east Cornwall and from Hampshire to Kent, with an additional population in north Devon. There is just one county record of an individual coming to light at Clevedon South in June 2014.

Alder Moth

Widespread and seems to be
holding its own, although not especially common.&nbsp; It is reliant on woodland, and by
far the strongest populations are in the Blackdowns woods.
