'''''Cerastium''''' (Mouse-ear chickweed) is a [[genus]] of [[plant]] belonging to the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Caryophyllaceae]].

''Cerastium'' species are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species including ''[[Coleophora|Coleophora chalcogrammella]]'' (which feeds exclusively on ''Cerastium arvense'') and ''[[Coleophora|Coleophora striatipennella]]'' (which has been recorded on ''Cerastium fontanum'').
