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

Yes, an important sighting. it's an extraordinary year (in recent times) for Bogong Moths in Canberra judging by the numhers of records we have been getting on NatureMapr in our region and anecdotally Also one seen on the ceiling of my regular gym in Belconnen by the proprietor last Friday (confirmed by me); and reports by him of the same species entering his block of flats in Belconnen also.

Haven't seen such a Bogong aggregation for decades. There were at least 50.
