Results of pheromone and sticky trap catches can be viewed here.

Corn earworm/Tobacco budworm: Corn earworm activity peaked at its highest level so far this spring. Trap catches remain steady or increased in most trapping areas, and a particularly sharp increase in flight activity was observed in the south Yuma Valley.

Cabbage looper/Beet armyworm: Beet armyworm remain active in most areas, and cabbage looper moth activity remains steady in all locations this week, particularly in Wellton and the Gila Valley.

Whitefly: Adult activity remains negligible in all areas relative to fall activity.

Thrips: Thrips numbers are beginning decrease again as produce acreage declines.

Aphids: Winged aphid movement is beginning to decline in all areas.
