Ochreous Pug

Not an especially common moth in Somerset, and missing from a vast swathe of the centre of the county, probably through lack of suitable (coniferous) foodplant, and also from inland Exmoor, probably through lack of recording.&nbsp; Commonest in a band through the south of the county, stretching from Yeovil through Taunton and then up to the Exmoor coast.&nbsp; Fewer, more scattered records in the Mendips and northward, especially around Bath.

Angle-barred Pug

Widely distributed, though scarce and local; recorded often and in better numbers from the Berrow/Burnham-on-Sea area.&nbsp; Double-brooded, with the summer generation being more frequent than the spring one.

Marbled Pug

A nationally scarce species associated with Oaks, especially large, mature, Oaks, in woodland and hedgerows. It can sometimes be found during the day resting on Oak trunks and branches. The main English population can be found in the New Forest. It has been recorded irregularly in Somerset in small numbers and at scattered locations.&nbsp; As expected given its foodplant, its most recent records are in and around woodland on Exmoor and the Blackdowns.
