VeLVetBeAn CAteRPILLAR larvae vary from light to dull green, with white lines running the length of the body. e
lines on the side of the body are usually much broader than those of green cloverworms or loopers. Velvetbean caterpillars have four
pairs of abdominal prolegs and are about 1½ inch long when fully developed. When disturbed, the velvetbean caterpillar becomes
very active and wriggles about like the green cloverworm. Velvetbean caterpillars are migratory insects flying in from Central and
South America each year. Velvetbean caterpillars are primarily foliage-feeders but will feed on petioles, causing pods to drop to the
ground after a significant loss of foliage. Velvetbean caterpillars generally are late-season pests of peanuts in Mississippi. Foliar Bt
products may also be effective in controlling velvetbean caterpillars.
tHResHoLD: Treat when four or more caterpillars per row foot are present early in the season or when plants are stressed from
drought or some other cause. In older, more lush peanuts, treat when eight or more caterpillars are present.
