European Corn Borer 
Pyrawsitiam ubalatiis iiubm 
Broken tassel caused by the European corn borer. Note that the 
break is near the base of the tassel and occurs in the main part of 
the stalk. 
The small figure to the right shows two tassel buds which have 
been invaded by very young borers just after they have deserted the 
leaves.
