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.

The Clay

Occurs throughout the county, sometimes in numbers, though it appears less abundant now than it was 30 years ago.

Shore Wainscot

A species of sandy, coastal habitats. Most records are from the coast between Burnham-on-Sea and Clevedon, with the strongest populations around Burnham and Berrow.&nbsp; Occasional wanderers turn up elsewhere.
