[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 42847, member: 43"] Beet army worm --- is a light green to black larva with 4 pairs of abdominal prolegs and a dark head. There are many fine, white wavy lines along the back and a broader stripe along each side. There is usually a distinctive dark spot on each side just above the second pair of true legs (courtesy of K-State Research and Extension) Fall army worms --- You can identify fall army worm caterpillars by 4 black dots on the back of the tip of the abdomen. Larger caterpillars typically have a light-colored, upside down Y-shape on the head, and 3 white lines on top of the segment just behind the head (courtesy of [url=http://www.aces.edu]http://www.aces.edu[/url]) I've had the little buggers a couple of times in the last several years and they virtually ate every leaf on my bermuda. I'm an absentee owner and around this time of the year I can only make it to my place once a week. I've seen a lot of nice bermuda one week and when I came back a week later it looked like a wasteland with only bermuda stems. [/QUOTE]
