Army worms hide in the soil during the day. They will eat just about anything it seems. I was just wondering what was eating the leaves from Salvia apiana (White Sage) when I brushed the top soil, a big fat cut worm appeared. The chickens weren't even interested! Blinking

Cutworms hide in the soil during the day and then sneak out at night to devour the leaves from your favorite plants!
