Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Roger Key Family   Noctuidae Sub Family   Hadeninae Description   a sub-family of the Noctuidae Background to Family   Generally polyphagous on herbaceous plants and broadleaved trees and shrubs, but certain genera show host specialisation, e.g. Hadena on the ripening seed capsules of Silene (Caryophyllaceae) and wainscots, Mythimna, on grasses (Poaceae). Ceramica pisi includes bracken (Pteridium aquilinum) in the diet, and Panolis flammae is a serious pest of Pinus (Pinaceae).     © Roger Key No. taxa in DBIF   _ No. interactions   _ % interactions with British data   _ No. records   _ % taxa with British data   _ © Ian Kimber 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.
