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

The burglar alarm has gone off in my parked LR 4WD several nights this week without apparent cause I saw a Bogong Moth crawl out of the door cavity today and fly away before I could get a photo on my phone.The Bogong Moth flying inside the car could have set off the alarm.
