Apple-fruit Moth

Fairly scarce, being reported in small numbers most years,
but not every year.&nbsp; The principal
foodplant is Rowan <i>Sorbus aucuparia</i>,
and unsurprisingly the moth is commonest in upland south and west Somerset –
the Quantocks, Blackdowns and Exmoor.&nbsp; It
is no doubt under-recorded, especially on Exmoor.

Oak-bark Argent

Usually recorded from its larval workings on oak, but
occasionally comes to light.&nbsp; Most
records are from upland south and west Somerset, where it is no doubt more
widespread than maps suggest.&nbsp; Much
scarcer in the north and east of the county, but there are recent records from
Great Breach Wood and Leigh Wood.

Blackthorn Argent

Recorded both to light and as sightings of adults by
day.&nbsp; Scattered records across the county
and appears widely distributed, though seems to be recorded less frequently
than it was even as recently as 20 years ago.
