Tobacco Budworm Larva
Heliothis virescens (larva)
This caterpillar lives on tobacco, cotton, soybean, and other host plants in fields and gardens. It feeds by chewing leaves, flowers, and developing buds, often sheltering among the plant growth during the day. Older larvae may cannibalize smaller caterpillars when food is scarce.
