European corn borer numbers are generally down from last week.  Baldwinsville numbers are high, but can’t comment on the trend because this is the first report from that location.  Corn earworm and fall armyworm are being caught in low numbers at a few locations, and western bean cutworm was caught for the first time this season in Eden.

Common armyworm were found feeding in one corner of a sweet corn field, and ECB larvae are also being found.  Damage to hay and small grain fields is widespread, and in some cases lawns near small grain fields are being damaged.  Squished larvae coat the road in many places.  See last week’s report for more information on common armyworm.  And keep an eye on your seedling stage sweet corn fields that you wouldn’t ordinarily be scouting!

Trap catches for the week of 6/5-12/12
