| | | | Cotton bollworm | | The cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), also known as scarce bordered straw, corn earworm, tobacco budworm or old world bollworm, is a species in the order butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera), the division Ditrysia, the superfamily Noctuoidea, and the family owlet moths (Noctuidae). It is found in Southern Europe, (Central and Northern Europe infrequently ), in Africa and Asia, and Australia and New Zealand. It originated in the tropical and subtropical zones and is regarded there as a pest of a variety of crops. | | |
| | | | Adult Helicoverpa armigera reach wingspans of up to 40 mm. Their forewings are yellowish brown. The hindwings are yellowish with a dark edge. | | |
| | | The cotton bollworm likes to be on the move and penetrates further north during hot summers. It cannot overwinter in Central Europe. The cotton bollworm prefers to live on cultivated land but is also found on warm hillsides or grassy heathland.
The caterpillars eat a very wide range of foods, but are especially fond of crops such as cotton, sunflowers, lemons and tomatoes. | | |
