Abstract
The sunflower moth (Homoeosoma electellum Hulst.) will probably never be put on the endangered species list, but many California
farmers would iike to see it as extinct as the dinosaurs because of the damage it
does to the sunflower crop. This pest has also caused extensive damage to sunflower
in Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota, North Dakota,
and in parts of Canada
