Hi,
Last night (in Israel) I found this Noctuidae, looks like Plusiinae sp. in the morning I notice of Peribaea orbata (Tachinidae) at the same location which known to be parasite on Spodoptera litura which is also belong to Noctuidae family. It is possible this Tachinid has another host?

Can anyone identify the Noctuidae in the photo?

Thanks.

Perhaps Amphipyrinae would be a better match. Somewhere nearMesapamea?

It is a long time since I have messed with Lepidoptera, so I could be totally wrong...
