Obscure Wainscot

Mostly a reedbed and wetland insect, especially common on the Levels, particularly at Ham Wall.&nbsp; Not restricted to this area, and occurs elsewhere in the county, with an exceptional record of 39 at Hurlstone Point in 2013.

L-album Wainscot

A recent colonist, rapidly expanding.&nbsp; Initially found mainly coastally, but now found well inland.&nbsp; &nbsp;Old records in the far south of the county in 1994-1996 may be immigrant examples, and the moth did not establish itself there.&nbsp; There was an isolated record in the Berrow area in 1996, but it became established around Weston-super-Mare/Sand Bay in 2010 and regularly recorded between Clevedon and Burnham-on-Sea by 2014.&nbsp; It has spread inland from about 2017-2018 and is now found widely, if locally, across the county, with regular records from some sites suggesting local colonies.

Shoulder-striped Wainscot

Widespread across the county, though perhaps scarcer in the east.&nbsp; Occasionally recorded in good numbers, particularly in the west of the county.
