Brindled Tortrix

Thinly scattered across the county and occasional at light in woodlands or lightly wooded areas; appears not to wander far, and is very rare in gardens.&nbsp; The larvae are said to feed on a variety of trees, and have been reared from elm in the county.

Heather Tortrix

Very local and with just six records in the county, recorded from the Chard area and from a small area of Exmoor.&nbsp; It flies by day in spring on moorland, and might perhaps be under-recorded, particularly on Exmoor.

Yellow Larch Tortrix

Associated with larches, this moth is local but widespread across the county, recorded in small numbers from woodland, usually to light.&nbsp; It is a very rare visitor to gardens.
