Corn Earworm (Helicoverpa zea)

Back before the climate in these parts degenerated to its present miserable condition we grew corn at the CB. Ray would go out and eat corn right off the stalk. Then he’d get projectile diarrhea (is there any other kind). That’s right. You are supposed to cook the corn a little to keep from getting the projectile diarrhea.

The other thing you need to do is check the ear for vermin as you shuck. Chances are, caterpillars may be on your cob. You may or may not wish to consume the caterpillars.

This moth has beautiful green eyes.
