A project to replant habitat has seen the barberry carpet moth population more than triple.
An endangered moth has seen a resurgence in part of Dorset following a project to restore its habitat.
The replanting of native barberry in Blandford Forest has resulted in an increase in the number of larvae found there, from 14 in 2018 to 50 this year. Caterpillars of the barberry carpet moth depend on common barberry - Berberis vulgaris - for survival but it was cleared from hedgerows during the 19th century because it was thought to be a host for wheat rusk fungus.
