After once again battling bird nests in our blacklight trap and a lot of rainfall for most of May in Painter, we have finally gotten some usable information. This week’s trap catch included 0 European corn borer moths, 12 Corn earworm moths, and 205 green stink bugs. It is early for corn earworm moths, so a catch of 12 moths is interesting and should be monitored closely in future weeks. A catch of 205 green stink bugs per week in May is both high and early for that pest. This is another insect that should be monitored closely for in the coming weeks on the Eastern Shore.
