Any help with identification would be amazing! I caught it in Elk Grove, California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help with identification would be amazing! I caught it in Elk Grove, California. Looks like a cutworm which usually eats grass and plantain but I'm not positive CA has different species than NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadstar Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah, what Keith said. Probably a moth in the noctuidae family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonsaladsandwich Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Know this is old, but that looks like a fall armyworm, Spodoptera Frugiperda. You can tell by the black triangle behind the head. It's a pest that eats absolutely anything, including corn and other grains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
