Feathered Ranunculus

    Polymixis lichenea

    NoctuidaeABH 73.235 B&F 2255

    Essentially a coastal moth in Somerset.  The distribution map gives a false impression - the vast majority of records are from coastal situations (where it can be frequent in gardens), and, whilst it occurs inland, this is infrequently and in small numbers, becoming scarcer the further one is from the coast.

    Adult Verification Grade: 1
