Burnet Companion

A day-flying moth of semi-natural, almost always calcareous grasslands, especially on the Poldens, the limestone hills around Bath, and much of Mendip.&nbsp; It can also be found on parts of the Blackdowns and on post-industrial land around Radstock and Midsomer Norton.&nbsp; There is a single, anomalous record from Exmoor.&nbsp; It is oddly absent from the western, coastal Mendips, between Crook Peak and the sea at Brean Down.

Dark Crimson Underwing

Two records of this spectacular moth, formerly very rare and local but now expanding its range - one from Clevedon in 2020 which is almost certainly a migrant, and another from Lower Langford in 2022.
