The White-barred Clearwing is a moth species that is found in heathland, raised mossy areas and along the edges of streams and woodland glades. Habitats in Herefordshire can be improved to target this species and include leaving stumps in boggy areas as the caterpillars feed near the base of tree trunks before overwintering as larvae.
