The Noctuidae or Owlets are a family of robustly-built moths with more than 25,000 known species [possibly 100,000 in the family]. Most have drab forewings, although some have brightly coloured hindwings. Several species have larvae (caterpillars) that live in the soil and are agricultural or horticultural pests. Most nuctuid larvae feed at night, resting in the soil or in a crevice in its food plant during the day. 1, record 1, English, - owlets
