Description

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Viminia was a
genus of moths of the Noctuidae family. It is now considered a synonym
of Acronicta. The Noctuidae or owlet moths are a family of
robustly-built moths that includes more than 35,000 known species out of
possibly 100,000 total, in more than 4,200 genera. They constitute the
largest family in the Lepidoptera. Their distribution is worldwide with
about 1,450 species found in Europe. Most have drab forewings, although
some have brightly coloured hindwings. There are usually few differences
between the sexes. The overwhelming majority of noctuids fly at night
and are almost invariably strongly attracted to light. Many are also
attracted to sugar and nectar-rich flowers.
