White-line Snout

A nationally scarce species that inhabits damp woodland, shady hedgerows and open heathland. It will come to flowers, sugar and light. Listed as occasional and local by Turner (1955), it remains so, with most records from the south and west of the county.  A handful of records in most years, sometimes none at all.  Usually in small numbers, though there have been double-figure counts at Hurlstone Point and Great Breach Wood.

Marsh Oblique-barred

This small, nationally scarce,&nbsp; species of boggy moorland, heathland, swamps, marshes and fens could be mistaken for a micro moth. It flies in late afternoon and evening and comes to light. Turner (1955) lists it as rare and very local. Since then it has been recorded in small numbers and irregularly, mainly on the Somerset Levels.

Pinion-streaked Snout

Can easily be mistaken for a
micro-moth and is perhaps under-recorded as a result.&nbsp; It is now being recorded much more frequently
than formerly, perhaps because identification has become easier, or perhaps
because it is becoming commoner.&nbsp;
Currently around ten records a year of single individuals or small
numbers, generally in or near damp wooded areas (including in gardens), and
absent from those parts of the county lacking in this resource.
