English term or phrase: armyworm vs. caterpillar
Brett Wilcox: How about if I take a genetically modified armyworm that turns into a moth? What if I take some of that and we put that into vaccines?
Kids: No!
Girl: A caterpillar?
Brett Wilcox: Yes, it's a caterpillar. It's actually a caterpillar, yes. But it turns into a moth, turns into a moth.

The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a species in the order of Lepidoptera and is the larval life stage of a fall armyworm moth. The term "armyworm" can refer to several species, often describing the large-scale invasive behavior of the species' larval stage. It is regarded as a pest and can damage and destroy a wide variety of crops, which causes large economic damage. Its scientific name derives from frugiperda, which is Latin for lost fruit, named because of the species' ability to destroy crops.[1] Because of its propensity for destruction, the fall armyworm's habits and possibilities for crop protection have been studied in depth. It is also a notable case for studying sympatric speciation, as it appears to be diverging into two species currently.[2] Another remarkable trait of the larva is that they practice cannibalism.

Azjatycka inwazja żarłocznych gąsienic

Entomolodzy stwierdzili, że jest to czyniąca szczególne szkody gąsienica ćmy z gatunku Spodoptera frugiperda. Pochodzi z Ameryki Południowej i Środkowej, ale przez całe dekady siała spustoszenie także w Meksyku, Stanach Zjednoczonych i Kanadzie. Latem dorosłe ćmy migrują na północ aż do Quebecu, składając jaja w kukurydzy, ryżu i innych roślinach uprawnych, którymi po wykluciu żywią się larwy.
