Introduction to cutworms
Cutworms are the larvae of several moths species that feed on young plants' stems, causing significant damage to crops, gardens, and lawns. They are often a problem for gardeners, and it's essential to know the symptoms and how to control these pests.


Symptoms of the pest and damage
Cutworms can cause significant damage to your plants, especially in the early stages of growth. The most common symptom of cutworms is the wilting or dying of young seedlings, with cut marks at the base of the stems. This is because cutworms feed on the stems of young plants, severing the stem and causing the plant to wilt and die.

Another symptom is the appearance of tiny, brown moths flying around your plants, which is a sign that cutworms are present.
