Light Knot Grass

A species of moors and damp heathland that is found mainly from Wales through to Scotland. Turner (1955) believed that two specimens at Shapwick in June 1912 may have been mistaken for the light form of Knot Grass. Since then, there have been just three county records, at Bruton, near Yeovil and at South Petherton.

The Sycamore

A rarity in the county before
1990, when it established itself around Yeovil, in line with a national
increase in range.&nbsp; The moth has now
spread across the whole county, perhaps excepting inland Exmoor, but has become
markedly less frequently recorded since around 2006.

The Miller

Widespread across the county
except, perhaps, inland Exmoor, although, as the vast majority of records are
of single individuals attracted to light, it cannot really be considered a
common species.

The Miller

Acronicta leporina
