Extract

Cutworms are excellent insects for investigations on physiology, behaviour, and toxicology in the laboratory. Although they are often plentiful and easily obtained in the field during outbreaks their use as laboratory animals is dependent upon satisfactory methods of rearing. Cutworms vary in life history and feeding habits, and many species require distinctive rearing techniques.
