Sixteen sites reporting this week. Three sites caught European corn borer (ECB)-E and one site caught ECB-Z. European corn borer egg masses and common armyworm were found in fields of V5 and V8 corn this week.
Corn earworm was caught at 3 sites (Portville, Hurley and Penn Yan). While we usually think of corn earworm laying eggs on silks and primarily damaging the ear, they will feed on whorl stage corn if silk stage is not available. Feeding resembles that of fall armyworm more than European corn borer (see photo below). No fall armyworm moths were caught this week and Western bean cutworm traps will be set over the next week.
