Buff-tip

Widespread and common right across the county, though in fluctuating numbers.&nbsp; The larvae are fairly often found - they feed on the foliage of a variety of tree species, oak, birch and sallow being examples.

Scarce Prominent

Always a rarity.&nbsp; One from Frome in 1959, one from Westhay Moor in 1991, and recorded scarcely but regularly 2005-2014 from Cox's Lodge near Stourhead, suggesting a resident population in the extreme east of the county.

Plumed Prominent

Extinct; Turner (1955) comments "...two in Dorchester Museum labelled 'Clevedon'.&nbsp; Yeovil (V.C.H.), once".&nbsp;&nbsp;
