Southern Armyworm Caterpillar
Spodoptera eridania (caterpillar)
Southern armyworm caterpillars feed on the leaves of many crops, weeds, and ornamental plants in fields and gardens. They are most active at night and often shelter beneath foliage or in soil during the day. Their strong chewing mandibles can rapidly strip leaf tissue, and older larvae may darken in color as they grow.
