Six-Spot Burnet

Widespread but local in
flower-rich grasslands, common where it occurs, and occasionally abundant on
high-quality calcareous grassland, especially in the Poldens and from the
Mendips northwards.&nbsp; Absent from inland
Exmoor and very scarce in intensively-farmed landscapes.

The Forester

A much-declined moth in Somerset,
in keeping with the national trend.&nbsp;
Still regularly recorded from Priddy Mineries.&nbsp; Other relatively recent sites include Ham
Hill (last record 2015), GB Gruffy (2012), Hatch Hill (2011), Bannerdown
(2010), Blackmoor (2008) and Ubley Warren (2007).&nbsp; This moth needs considerable care to distinguish it from other forester species.

Cistus Forester

A day-flying species of
calcareous grassland, probably in decline.&nbsp;
Most recent records are from Walton Common near Clevedon, though also at
the remote and inaccessible Long Knoll in the far east of the county.&nbsp; No recent records from the Mendips, and not
seen at its traditional stronghold there, Dolebury Warren, since 2008.&nbsp; Needs care to distinguish it from other forester species.
