Dill speaks to BDN about winter cutworms
The Bangor Daily News interviewed Jim Dill, pest management specialist with University of Maine Cooperative Extension, about winter cutworms. Dill said that the cutworms were especially active in the days leading up to the storm last week because the weather had been so unseasonably mild. “Think of it, we had green grass until very recently. Then, just like that, they got caught on top of the snow,” Dill said. The Piscataquis Observer shared the BDN report.
