Twin-spot Carpet

Strongly associated with moorland in Somerset - principally Exmoor, the Quantocks and parts of the Blackdowns.&nbsp; There are very few recent records from VC6.&nbsp; It is only occasionally found in gardens, and then usually in gardens near moorland.&nbsp; Although attracted to light, it is also active by day, and can be found in some numbers both by day and by night.

Dentated Pug

Nationally scarce and very local, with strongholds in the Norfolk Broads, Cambridgeshire fens, New Forest and east Dorset. A species of woodland and scrub in fens, marshes and along river banks, where the larval foodplant, Yellow Loosestrife, grows. Only one modern record in the county, at Burnett, west of Bath, in June 2009.&nbsp; Perhaps searching stands of Yellow Loosestrife in the Avalon marshes in June and July could produce more records - it was known from this area in the 1930s and 1940s.

Chimney Sweeper

A day-flying moth of rough, often acidic grassland and hay-meadows where its foodplant Pignut grows.&nbsp; Often common where it occurs, it can be astonishingly local, persisting in isolated populations based on a couple of suitable fields.&nbsp; Widespread on parts of Exmoor - though not the whole of the area - in two separate areas of the Mendips, on the limestone hills north of Bath, and in a well-known but isolated population at Mount Fancy which appears to be its only site in the Blackdowns.&nbsp; The moth is occasionally reported from elsewhere.<br>
