Cochylis pallidana
Sheep's-bit Straw
TortricidaeABH 49.14 B&F 967Associated with sheep’s bit, Jasione montana, a plant essentially restricted to Exmoor, especially coastally. Rare and something of an enigma in Somerset; the Minehead (1998) record presents no problem, but the three records from Berrow do, as the foodplant does not occur there or nearby.
