If you are maintaining a blacklight trap, you'll appreciate being able to refer to this overview of moths you're likely to encounter. This concise guide highlights key wing markings to help you quickly identify specimens. Profiles 16 common moths: European Corn Borer, Corn Earworm, Spotted Cutworm, Dingy Cutworm, Western Bean Cutworm, Black Cutworm, Variegated Cutworm, Forage Looper, Cabbage Looper, Alfalfa Looper, Celery Looper, True Armyworm, Fall Armyworm, Yellow Striped Armyworm, Stalk Borer and Hop Vine Borer.
Blacklight trap captures provide information on regional activity of Lepidoptera ("caterpillar" pests) of economic concern in field and sweet corn, soybeans and small grains. Blacklight trap catch allows pest managers to keep ahead of developing insect pest populations by monitoring adult moth flights. UWEX Publication A3855 features photographs of 16 field crop Lepidoptera insect pests in the adult (moth) stage.
A simple key features identifying characteristics, moth size, and a calendar timeline for each moth flight in Wisconsin. Tips on operating and sorting catch from blacklight traps are included.
