Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Lesson 4: Hairy Caterpillar Course on Insect Pests of Sorghum Module IV: Earhead Pests The newly hatched caterpillars have the habit of grouping together that continues in the mature caterpillars. The hairy caterpillar is dark brown with a wide yellow band. An orange-red line runs along the yellow band (Fig.). The caterpillar stage lasts 15 to 40 days. Hairy Caterpillar

Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Lesson 4: Hairy Caterpillar Course on Insect Pests of Sorghum Module IV: Earhead Pests Crop damage The caterpillars infest the sorghum head in large numbers and feed hardening grains. But, inspite of the large number found in the earhead, the damage caused to the grain is not much. Management The damage is minor and so rarely requires any control measures.
