Description:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutworm

Notes:

Agrotis is a genus of moths of the Noctuidae family. A number of the species of this genus are extinct. Many of the species are of great importance as cutworms, major agricultural pests whose larvae hide by day and emerge at night to feed. The name cutworm refers to the habit of the larvae, of cutting down and partly eating garden and crop plants, especially seedlings.
