Lawn Caterpillar
The lawn caterpillar refers to the larvae of a brown moth that live in vertical tunnels made in lawn during the day. The caterpillars emerge at night to feed on the foliage and stems of the grass. The green-brown caterpillars are 20-30 mm in length.
The caterpillars feed on the foliage and stolons of grass and cause large dead spots in the lawn, especially in the middle to late summer.
