Beautiful Yellow Underwing

A moth of heather moors.&nbsp; The adults fly by day and it can also be found by looking for the highly cryptic larvae on heather.&nbsp; It is still widely if infrequently recorded on heather-dominated areas of Exmoor, and also on Quantock.&nbsp; Although there is now little suitable habitat, there are a few historic VC6 records, the last being in 1994 at Loxton Hill.

Antler Moth

A moth of upland, semi-natural acidic grassland and heather moors, where it can be locally extremely common.&nbsp; Widespread on Exmoor, Quantock and Mendip, though apparently absent from the Blackdowns and from the peatlands on the Levels.&nbsp; There are occasional wanderers found elsewhere in the county.

The Nutmeg

Still a regularly recorded moth, though somewhat local in distribution and numbers are much reduced compared with 50 years ago.&nbsp; Largely absent from the county's upland areas.
