Sod Webworm Moth (Crambid Snout Moth)

Grassy areas, lawns, meadows, and agricultural fields where grass provides ample cover and food.

Larvae (webworms) feed on the base and blades of grass and turf. Adults primarily feed on flower nectar.

Adults are nocturnal and are highly attracted to lights at night. During the day, they rest on grass stems or walls in a characteristic head-downwards, wing-rolled position that makes them look like tube-shaped debris.

The larvae can be significant pests for lawns and golf courses by causing brown patches. Adults are harmless to humans and serve as a food source for birds and bats.
