Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Ian Kimber Family   Noctuidae Sub Family   Noctuinae Description   a sub-family of the Noctuidae Background to Family   Moths including the yellow-underwings (Noctua) and clays, darts and rustics (mainly Euxoa, Agrotis and Xestia). Predominantly foliage feeders on herbaceous plants and grasses, many of which are polyphagous. Some species also feed on trees and shrubs. Root-feeders are known as cutworms and may be pests.     No. taxa in DBIF   _ No. interactions   _ % interactions with British data   _ No. records   _ % taxa with British data   _ Notes   Old data currently unassessed by a specialist for changes in nomenclature, new species to the British list, new interactions, errors in original sources, and misspellings.
