army worm
An army worm is a type of caterpillar, the larva of a moth species, that is known for moving in large groups and causing massive destruction to crops. The term "army worm" is commonly used to refer to multiple species of both moths and caterpillars, but is most often associated with the Spodoptera genus. They are named "army worms" due to their habit of marching en masse from one crop field to another in search of food.

Army worm
The Fall Armyworm is part of the order of Lepidoptera and is the caterpillar life stage of a moth. It is regarded as a pest and can wreak havoc with crops if left to multiply. Its name is derived from its feeding habits. They will eat everything in an area and once the food supply is exhausted the entire "army" will move to the next available food source.
