Latin Name Mythimna loreyi
Common Name False army worm
Biology

A noctuid moth. Larvae (armyworms) are gregarious, feeding nocturnally on foliage; daytime hiding in soil. Adults are strong fliers, attracted to light. Univoltine to multivoltine depending on climate.

Damage

Defoliation of grasses (maize, rice, wheat, pastures), with larvae consuming leaves, stems, and panicles. Heavy infestations cause complete crop loss.

Distribution Regions

Cosmopolitan in tropical and temperate regions: Africa, southern Europe, Asia, Australia, and parts of the Americas.

Monitoring

Light traps; pheromone traps with M. loreyi sex lures; visual scouting for larval feeding damage.

Recommended Traps

Universal noctuid traps (e.g., bucket traps) with species-specific pheromone lures or UV light attachments.
