This is Buckleria paludum, an unusual plume moth. The larvae feed on Drosera rotundifolia (round-leaved sundew). This individual was found at the Westhay Somerset Wildlife Trust reserve, where the foodplant is thriving in a mire restoration area. It is the first time it has been seen in Somerset since the original record at Shapwick in 1954.
