European Corn Borer
Ostrinia nubilalis
The adult is a small nocturnal moth found around cornfields, gardens, grasslands, and weedy field edges. It feeds little or not at all, with reproduction and locating host plants taking priority after emergence. Females lay egg masses on suitable plant leaves, beginning another generation of stem-boring larvae.
