Scarce Grass-veneer

A thin scattering of records around the county, but only two this century.

Marsh Grass-veneer

A very rare and probably under-recorded species in Somerset, currently known from just two sedgey mire sites on Exmoor with particularly liquid mud - the kind of sites that hold decent populations of Keeled Skimmer <i>Orthetrum coerulescens</i>.&nbsp; There are probably further sites to be found on Exmoor, and possibly on the Quantocks and Blackdowns (where it was recorded in 1915).&nbsp; It is not exclusively an upland species; a 1922 record exists for Shapwick, and it still occurs in lowland Devon.&nbsp;&nbsp;
