They constitute the largest family in the Lepidoptera.Their distribution is worldwide with about 1,450 species found in Europe Most have drab forewings, although some have brightly coloured hindwings. There are usually few differences between the sexes. The overwhelming majority of noctuids fly at night and are almost invariably strongly attracted to light. Many are also attracted to sugar and nectar-rich flowers.
