Study Report: Army cutworm (Euxoa auxiliaris) moths summering in Great Basin National Park
Salo C. Study Report: Army cutworm (Euxoa auxiliaris) moths summering in Great Basin National Park. Research Permit and Reporting System
Native army cutworms (Euxoa auxiliaris) consume cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) to produce "die-offs." Understanding Euxoa auxiliaris outbreaks and migrations will let us predict cheatgrass die-offs so we can reseed these areas. In August, 2020, I visited 11 sites in GRBA where army cutworm moths had been collected. I searched excellent moth habitat along streams and at high elevations, and surprising habitats at low elevations in an old orchard and open woodlands. But I didn't find any moths.
