Noctuoid moths (except Arctiinae)


This moth sub-category for the superfamily Noctuoidea contains the large families Noctuidae and Erebidae as well the smaller Euteliidae, Nolidae, Notodontidae and Oenosandridae.  The Arctiinae also belong to this superfamily, but are distinctive and well known so are given their own moth sub-category

There seem to be healthier numbers of Bogong Moths (Agrotis infusa) being recorded this year. I think the gusty NW winds assist them in their migration from western NSW and Queensland to the Australian Alps for the summer.

The big green eyes suggests Heliothinae to me, but too worn to see any markings
