How and Where Can You Find Clover hayworm moth at Different Life Stages
Egg Clover hayworm moth eggs are typically laid on host plants. To locate them, inspect the leaves of potential food plants for small clusters of eggs that might be tucked under the foliage or along the stems.
Larva Clover hayworm moth larvae are found on or near food sources. Look for them by carefully examining the surface and edges of leaves where they might be eating or resting. Caterpillars may also be spotted by the presence of frass (caterpillar droppings) beneath the food plant.
Pupal Clover hayworm moth pupae are usually in concealed locations such as in the soil, leaf litter, or within the structure of the host plant. Searching for them requires gentle exploration of these areas without causing damage to the pupae.
Adult Clover hayworm moth adults are most easily found at night. Use a light trap to attract them or look for them resting on surfaces near light sources. During the day, they can sometimes be seen resting on the undersides of leaves or in sheltered areas like bark crevices.

Stored Produce Pest

The larval stage of clover hayworm moth is responsible for infesting and damaging a variety of dry stored products including grains, dried fruits, seeds, and even dry pet food. Infestation can range from mild to severe, often resulting in the contamination and spoilage of food items. As the larvae feed, they create webbing that can further spoil and clump products, making them unsuitable for consumption and leading to economic losses.
