Scorched Carpet

Frequently recorded, though rarely in any numbers.&nbsp; Appears to occur right across the county, with its mapped absence from inland Exmoor perhaps the result of under-recording.

Clouded Magpie

This moth's larvae feed on elms, especially wych elm.&nbsp; Dutch Elm Disease ought to have caused the moth to decline, but the records show little sign of this.&nbsp; The distribution is strongly biased towards the harder limestone rocks of the Mendips and the hills around Bristol and Bath, where wych elm is often common in the ravines in the hills.&nbsp; South of the Mendips the moth is rarely recorded and sporadic, though records in and around Porlock and Great Breach Wood in particular suggest that local populations do exist.

Clouded Border

Widespread and frequently recorded; most abundant in woodland, though rarely in the numbers in which it was recorded even 20 years ago.
