Finding half a xvorm! Residents of Southeastern Utah haxe a new ersion of that old joke: Whats worse than findinga caterpillar on xour sidewalk in Januarx? Finding an armx of caterpillars! Millions of Army Cutworm caterpillars haxe appeared in San Juan. Grand, Emery and Carbon Counties in recent weeks, but no one is laughing. insects emerge from the spring, feed during the summer, and go dormant in the fall. Armx Cutworms do just the opposite. Adult moths migrate from the mountains into the alleys in earlx fall to in the soil. Each female produces from 1000 to 3000 eggs that soon hatch into tiny caterpillars that feed on grass, alfalfa, grain plants and weeds. Caterpillars remain active until cold weather sets in, then go underground for the xxinter. They emerge in the spring and continue feeding until they are nearly txx o inches long. The caterpillars then burrow into the soil a second time to form a pupae, or eoeoon. Adult moths emerge in May or June and fly to high elexations where they aestivate (hibernate) for the summer. Heavy infestations of Army Cutworms are often obserxed the year following a dry summer and wet autumn. Dry summer weather faxors surxixal of dormant moths. Wet fall weather improves egg hatch and promotes groxxih of w eeds and other fall annuals that caterpillars can feed on. Last year's for weather was picture-perfeArmy Cutworms.

Although Army Cutxvorm caterpillars are well adapted to cold weather, it is possible that xxinter our weather may kill many of them. It is possible that the caterpillars w ill complete their grow th n, off-aga- in and pupate earlier than normal, which would minimize feeding damage on spring crops. It is also possible that millions of caterpillars will sun ive to damage lawns, gardens and crops in April. Weil haxe to wait and scx. Rigid now, the caterpillars are more nuisance than threat. feeding is unlikely to harm dormant plants. Hoxvever, no one likes to find caterpillars squashed on the driveway or trekking across the lixingroom carpet. Exclude caterpillars g from homes by doors and xxindows. If you feel that treatment is needed, home garden insecticides (including Sex in, Malathion and many others) can be used outdoors to kill the insects. The insecticide should be sprayed on the worms to provide good control at this time of year. Alwaxs read and follow label directions w hen using any pesCut-xxor- m xxeather-strip-pin- lx ticide. Cutworms are not causing damage to dormant alfalfa plants, but farmers should monitor fields as they begin to green up. Insecticide treatment may be needed if cutxvorms are present in numbers that suppress hay groxxih. Any product labeled for alfalfa weexils should control cutworms. Groxx-er- s in the Uintah Basis report excellent cutworm control with Pounce and other pyrethroid insecticides. Since most local alfalfa fields are grazed in the spring, farmers should obserxe withdraxval times before allowing livestock on fields that have been treated. |
