Broom Moth

A moth of semi-natural, acidic habitats (despite the English name, it is not restricted to areas with broom); as a result, it is found patchily across the county where its habitat occurs.&nbsp; The populations in Exmoor and the Quantocks appear stable but there are some signs that it is losing ground in the east of the county.&nbsp; There are a number of records of the moth coastally between Burnham-on-Sea and Clevedon, suggestive of migrants.

Bright-line Brown-eye

A common moth, occurring just about everywhere in the county.&nbsp; The larvae, which have two colour forms (brown and green), can sometimes be a pest on tomatoes.

Dot Moth

A widespread, frequently recorded moth, which sometimes still turns up in good numbers.
