Laburnum Leaf-miner

Scarce, and scattered in distribution across the
county.&nbsp; It has been recorded at light
but is more usually recorded as a leaf-mine.&nbsp;
There are two potential hostplants, dyer’s greenweed which is a
declining native species, and laburnum which is a predominately urban
ornamental.&nbsp; Although recorded from both
species in Somerset, dyer’s greenweed still seems to be the preferred host.

Apple Leaf-miner

Widespread and common across the county.&nbsp; Comes to light, but more often recorded as a
leaf-miner on birches and various rosaceous shrubs: apple and hawthorn being
the most frequent.

Striped Bent-wing

One record; to light at Thurlbear in 2007.&nbsp; This moth has declined but now appears to be
re-expanding in range from the south-east, so might be expected more often in
the county in the future.
