Noctuidae is the owlet moths and millers family of insects of the order Lepidoptera. The members of the family are distinguished by having the apex of the forewing marked with three light triangular spots aligned in a slightly curved row; pectinate antennae; degenerate mouthparts and the moth being active at night, with the males also flying on sunny mornings. The caterpillars have diagonal stripes and black dots.
