If you look at your grass closely right now, you might see the blades moving. That is not just the breeze — it’s a caterpillar known as the fall armyworm.

“This year has been an unusual year. They’re worse than anybody I’ve talked with can remember,” said Scott Stewart, entomologist with the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture.

The armyworm is the caterpillar of the fall armyworm moth. It feeds primarily on grass, fresh sod, hay fields and other summer and fall crops. However, you may see the most problems with Bermudagrass and pastures. An armyworm’s life span is about twelve days, with the last couple of days being the period where armyworms eat the most. Quickly, they turn lawns brown and patchy.
