Black Cutworm

Pest

The majority of cutworm damage occurs to seedling vegetables early in the season and when plants are small. Early season cutworms feed on the stems around the soil line, often cutting the transplant off. Affected transplants wilt and die. A single larvae may destroy several seedlings. Black cutworm moths do not usually overwinter in Ontario.
