Description
Black cutworm (Agrotis ipsilon)Spread: This Caterpillar can be found, as various species, throughout North America.
Characteristics: Cutworms common in Georgia fields are black (Agrotis ipsilon (Ashmed)), granulate (Agrotis subterranea (Fabricius)) and variegated cutworms (Peridroma saucia(Hubner)). These are moths in the family Noctuidae. Full-grown cutworm larvae are 1.5 to 2 inches long. Coloration will vary among species, but all tend to be stout-bodied caterpillars with four sets of prolegs. They have the tendency to curl into a ball when disturbed.
Damage: Almost any plant can be attacked in the seedling stage. Cotton and certain vegetables sometimes have stand reductions. Climbing cutworms, such as the granulate cutworm, can be serious foliage feeders on some crops such as peanuts.
Control: Bacillus thuringiensis, a widely available caterpillar-killing bacterium,is a very effective control for climbing cutworms as well as for the surface feeders.
