Agrotis ipsilon is a small noctuid moth found worldwide. The moth gets its scientific name from black markings on its forewings shaped like the letter Y or the Greek letter upsilon. The larvae are known as cutworms because they cut plants and other crops. The larvae are serious agricultural pests and feed on nearly all varieties of vegetables and many important grains.
