Target Crops: Maize & Grain crops.
Damage
The primary feeding point are the new leaves, which will have raggedly-chewed edges and dark pebbles of caterpillar excrement nearby. During the day, the caterpillars hide in the shelter of the corn plant’s whorl of new leaves, or beneath rocks or other shelter near the base of small plants.
Prevention
Clean up the previous year’s grain crops from year to year, and watch your corn closely if you live in an area where low-till corn is grown commercially.
