Armyworm

Mythimna unipuncta

Insect
Damage Signs

Armyworms occasionally mass migrate from grasses when their food source is being depleted. They can damage lettuce seedlings by feeding in the crown and chewing away the midrib and growing point. Once heads form, these caterpillars can bore into them, making the heads unmarketable.
