Corn earworm moth pheromone trap catches started to increase this week in some counties where captures have previously been low. The highest nightly averages were Brunswick (47), Prince George (30), Accomack (20), Greensville (15), Virginia Beach (13), and Southampton (11). Here is the Table. Black light trap catches at Prince George (Disputanta) averaged 3 per night. Cypermethrin vial test results are 53% dead or down moths after a 24-hour exposure to this pyrethroid insecticide at the rate of 5 micrograms per vial (n=178 moths tested). I found a bollworm egg in cotton on July 23 in Suffolk, VA.
