Western bean cutworm
Striacosta albicosta
One generation occurs each year. Moths are primarily grayish-brown in color with a wing-span of approximately 1-1/2". The primary identifying characteristics are a whitish stripe at the front of the forewing with two cream-colored, outlined shapes immediately behind. Other identifying marks are a circular spot approximately halfway along the length of the forewing and a kidney-shaped mark along the same line, approximately 2/3 of the way to the wingtip.
