Look at the e-mail address and make the obvious changes. It's so the spam bots
won't pick it up (hopefully).
His moth feeding on the yellow
>flower is Helicoverpa zea (corn earworm), Noctuidae.
Ah, I think I've seen it in the cotton IPM traps. It never occurred to me
that the adults would visit other flowers than cotton, so I didn't think of it.
(Duh!)
Is this the same species as bollworm, just a different common name, or are
they very closely related species?
Thanks for the help.
