INSECTS OF COMMERCIAL IMPORTANCE IN FLORIDA— 
THEIR IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL (Continued) 

CUTWORM. The moths are gray, brown or blackish, more 
or less mottled. The forewings are usually banded or streaked. 
The hind wings are nearly white and unmarked. The larvae 
are dull-colored, usually brownish with faint spots and lines, 
and almost completely without hairs. Some species confine 
their feeding activities within the soil, while others climb up 
into plants, feeding on foliage and fruit. Practically all truck 
crops are subjected to cutworm injury.

and destroy young plants while digging 
their runways.
