A diverse assemblage of caterpillar pests can be found damaging vegetables by the later portion of the growing season. Many of these species have developed local or widespread insecticide resistance. Proper caterpillar identification can help inform management decisions to ensure effective products are used.

Growers across the state should begin scouting for cross-striped cabbageworms (CSCW). Unlike the more common brassica caterpillar pests which lay their eggs individually, CSCW females lay eggs in clusters of 3 to 25. As a result, a single plant can quickly become infested with numerous hungry caterpillars, resulting in faster, more severe damage. In recent years, we’ve seen CSCW activity ramp up earlier in the season, and this year is no exception. Egg masses and mid-stage caterpillars have already been found in Eastern Shore counties.
