Not to be confused with Rice moth.Apamea apamiformis, known by the common names rice worm moth, riceworm,[1] and wild rice worm,[2]  is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in North America, including Wisconsin,[3]:\u200a23\u200aNew York, Minnesota and eastern Canada, with imperiled or critically imperiled populations in Maryland and Indiana, respectively, and a vulnerable population in New Jersey.[4]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsDescription[edit]Life cycle and behavior[edit]Economic importance[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Further reading[edit]Description[edit]The adult’s wingspan is about 39 millimetres (1.5\u00a0in). Adults are dimorphic, with a dark form and a light form distinguished by the coloration of the forewing.[5]:\u200a37\u201338\u200a The reniform spot is dark[5]:\u200a25\u200a with white scales along that spot’s concave border (facing the forewing’s outer margin).[5]:\u200a38\u200aLife cycle and behavior[edit]Adults are on wing from June to August depending on the location.  They feed on nectar from common milkweed flowers.[6]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Eggs are laid in the florets of wild rice from late June or early July until early August.[6]  The eggs hatch after eight or nine days and the larvae eat the ovary of their floret before ballooning away on self-spun silk threads.[6]  By the third instar they begin to consume maturing grain in the flower heads of the wild rice.[6]  Starting in September the larvae, now in the sixth or seventh instar, will either bury themselves in soil[6] or will have already bored themselves into the rice stalks,[5] where they overwinter before emerging in mid-spring to feed, moult into the eighth instar and subsequently pupate.[5][6]Economic importance[edit]The larva is known as the most serious insect pest of cultivated wild rice in Minnesota,[2] and perhaps the entire Upper Midwest of the United States.[7]  The larvae may be mistaken for rice grains during harvesting.References[edit]^ Apamea apamiformis.
