Fall Armyworms
In a grazing context, the fall armyworm is a highly destructive agricultural pest that mainly targets high-quality, well-managed forage grasses like Bermudagrass, Bahiagrass, and tall fescue.
The larvae, which are recognizable by an inverted "Y" pattern on their heads, hatch from fuzzy egg masses and march across pastures in massive numbers.
