Transient Depredation of Early Spring Range; Spotted Cutworms [Amathes c-nigrum (L.)] as a Possible CauseLaunchbaugh, J. L.; Owensby, C. E. (Society for Range Management, 1982-07-01)Destructive feeding by insects delayed early spring development of native shortgrass range nearly 2 months.

Evidence indicated spotted cutworm [Amathes c-nigrum (L.)] larvae may have been responsible.
