Corn Earworm ProjectBy: Gause Elementary
Problem 1: What type of animal is eating the corn?
Should it be eliminated?
Hypotheses
Life cycle of Heliocoverpa zea
Conclusion
The corn earworm moth is food for bats and other animals. If the moth is
completely eliminated, it could seriously affect the animals that rely
on it for food. Before eliminating the moth, research should be done on the
animals that feed on the moth.

The corn earworms are cannibals. The larvae eat each other.
Problem 3: Which of the crops listed below can earworm larvae

We need to retest and change the food every day to prevent rotting
or retest using live plants.

Will corn earworm moths drink Sweet-n-low and water, Equal and
water, and sugar water?
Conclusion
(12 moths tested)
