Stalk borer
The stalk borer is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from southern Canada, through the Eastern United States to the Gulf of Mexico, although it is absent from Florida.
This wingspan is 25–44 mm. The moth flies from June to September depending on the location.
The larvae are considered a pest of corn but also feed on various other large-stemmed plants, such as Ambrosia trifida.
