Where are Army Cutworm larvae typically found?

• A. On leaf surfaces
• B. Within the crown of grasses
• C. Found under soil clods
• D. In water-filled trenches

Answer: (C)

Army cutworm larvae hide where they feed: in the soil, especially under soil clods and plant debris near the bases of grasses. During the day they stay concealed, and they emerge at night to feed on the crowns and young tillers. This underground, sheltered habit makes the soil-clod environment the typical resting spot for these larvae, rather than on leaf surfaces, inside the grass crown, or in water-filled trenches. So, they are typically found under soil clods.
