Taxonomically, they are considered the most controversial family in the superfamily Noctuoidea because many of the clades are constantly ....

Ericameria
''Ericameria'' is a genus of North American shrubs in the family Asteraceae. ''Ericameria'' is known by the common names goldenbush, rabbitbrush, turpentine bush, and rabbitbush. Most are shrubs, but one species ''(Ericameria parishii, E. parishii)'' can reach tree stature. They are distributed in western Canada (Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia) western United States (from the western Great Plains to the Pacific coast of the United States, Pacific) and northern Mexico. Bright yellow flower heads adorn the plants in late summer. All the species have disc florets, while some have ray florets but others do not. ''Ericameria nauseosa'', (synonym ''Chrysothamnus nauseosus''), is known for its production of latex. Etymology ''Ericameria'' is based on the genus name ''Erica (plant), Erica'' and the Greek language, Greek word ''meros'' ('part'), in reference to the similarity of the plant's leaves to those of ''Erica''. Uses This genus has a number of admirable landscape pl ...

Schinia Florida
''Schinia florida'', the primrose moth, is a moth of the family Noctuidae described by Achille Guenée in 1852. Its range includes most of temperate North America aside from the west coast. Adults have a pink head and pale yellow to creamy white Thorax (arthropod anatomy), thorax and Abdomen (insect anatomy), abdomen. The forewings are pink with pale yellow markings. The hindwings are creamy white. The wingspan is about 30 mm. Eggs are laid on the flower buds of Oenothera, evening-primroses (''Oenothera'' spp.), which are the larval host plants. Eggs hatch 4–5 days after being laid. Larvae go through five instars before burrowing into the ground to pupate and Overwintering, overwinter. There is one generation per year, with the adult flight period timed to coincide with the bud development of its larval host plants. Adults are nocturnal, and often rest in the flowers of evening-primroses during the day. References External links

Gilia
''Gilia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the Polemoniaceae family and is related to phlox. It includes 39 species native to the Americas, ranging from British Columbia to Texas and northern Mexico, and to Ohio, in North America, and from Ecuador and Peru to southern Chile and Argentina in South America. These Western native plants are best sown in sunny, well-draining soil in the temperate and tropical regions of the Americas, where they occur mainly in desert or semi-desert habitats They are summer annuals, rarely perennials, growing to 10–120 cm tall. The leaves are spirally arranged, usually pinnate (rarely simple), forming a basal rosette in most species. The flowers are produced in a panicle, with a five-lobed corolla, which can be blue, white, pink or yellow. ''Gilia'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including '' Schinia aurantiaca'' and '' Schinia biundulata'' (the latter feeds exclusively on ''G. cana'').
