Common Rush Case-bearer

Forms a species pair with C. glaucicolella, from which it is only separable with difficulty.&nbsp; The records show it to be fairly common right across the county, but this must understate the picture - glaucicolella/alticolella cases occur in their hundreds in many rushy fields in the county, becoming even more abundant on parts of Exmoor.&nbsp; On the evidence to date, alticolella is slightly the more common and widespread of the two species.

Grey Rush Case-bearer

Records show this moth to be fairly common and widespread across the county, but this probably understates the picture. This species is separable only with great difficulty from C. alticolella, and unidentifiable cases of one or other species abound on rushes in damp situations, especially on Exmoor.

Wood-rush Case-bearer

Just six records of this species, of larval cases on various species of Luzula, from sites as diverse as Dolebury Warren, Shapwick Heath and Ash Priors Common.&nbsp; It is likely to be significantly under-recorded.
