Lawn Armyworm
- General Information
The female Lawn Armyworm can lay more than 1000 eggs in clusters within 10-14 days, pending temperature.The newly hatched armyworms stay together feeding on the same plant until it is devoured. Most active at night, they hide under the safety of grass during the day. They attack leaves, stems and seedheads. Infestations in turf usually extend outwards from gardens or higher cut turf as these plants are used as egg laying sites.
