Neglected Rustic

A declining moorland moth, whose stronghold is northern Quantock from where it is still regularly reported.&nbsp; There are occasional records from in and around the Blackdowns, which may indicate a resident population (perhaps in Devon).&nbsp; There are no Exmoor records more recent than 2003, despite searches around Dunkery.&nbsp; It is a very occasional wanderer from these areas and has never been recorded in VC6.

Dotted Clay

Largely an upland species, fairly widely reported from Exmoor and the Quantocks, and historically south and east through the Blackdowns; formerly more widespread in the county.&nbsp; May possibly still occur at Shapwick and in the moorland areas of the Mendips.

Square-spotted Clay

Thirteen records to date.&nbsp; Historically most have been from Exmoor, but it has not been recorded there since 2005.&nbsp; There is a scatter of other records across the county, possibly relating to migrating or dispersing individuals.
