Armyworms

Armyworms come from migrating armyworm moths that travel during the spring and early summer. During the caterpillar stage of their life cycle, these surface feeding insects can wreak havoc on the foliage of turf. When numerous, they will devour grasses down to the ground, causing circular bare areas. Armyworms feed day and night and can destroy a lawn in a matter of days. The name is derived from their feeding habits, eating everything in an area and once the food supply is exhausted the entire “army” will move in mass to the next available food source.

Cutworms

The term Cutworm is used for various species of moth larva and applies mainly to their feeding behavior. These caterpillars get their name from their habit of “cutting” down the plant at ground level by chewing through the stem. While some will remain with the plant and graze on it, often times they move on after eating only a small amount and this wasteful mode of feeding results in excessive damage.

They are general feeders and will attack a wide range of grasses, weeds and vegetable plants. They typically sever the plant stem during the night and hide in the soil near the base of the plant during the day.
