The cutworm refers to the larval stage of moths in the Noctuidae family. There are more than 35,000 known species in this family and possibly as many as 100,000 species.
There are many, many species of earthworm. The Common Earthworm, which is the species I think most are used to seeing belongs to the species Lumbricus terrestris.
Phylum arthropoda is the most diverse in species, with the highest count known of described species in any animal phylum. Over a million species under the phylum have been described and biologists estimate that millions of species have yet to be described, particularly amongst the insects.
Not naturally - They are a North american species. However - like many reptile species - there are likely to be a few in captivity.

It is the larvae of several species of night flying moths. So called because they cut down young plants as they feed
Cutworms are the caterpillar stage of certain species of moths. The mature moth will lag eggs in the soil or grass in the spring. In late spring or early fall the cutworm emerges and feeds on nearby plants. This cycle only occurs once a year.
Cutworms are preyed upon by natural predators such as birds, ground beetles, parasitic wasps, and some species of spiders. In addition, certain beneficial insects like nematodes and predatory mites are also known to feed on cutworms. Practices such as introducing these natural predators into the environment or using biological control methods can help manage cutworm populations.

Depending on the species, a nematode may be beneficial plant health. Predatory nematodes will kill garden pests like cutworms and corn earworm moths.
Yes, diatomaceous earth can effectively kill cutworms by dehydrating and damaging their exoskeletons, ultimately leading to their death.

Cutworms can quickly eat their way through your favorite plants. To get rid of them, spray your plants with insecticide or pick the worms off and drop them in a bucket of soapy water to drown.
Diatomaceous earth can be effective for controlling cutworms by dehydrating and killing them. However, its effectiveness may vary depending on factors such as application method and environmental conditions.
To effectively get rid of cutworms in your garden, you can try using natural predators like birds or beneficial insects, applying diatomaceous earth or nematodes to the soil, and using physical barriers like collars around plants. Regularly inspecting and removing cutworms by hand can also help control their population.
Yes, cardinals do eat cutworms, among other insects. These birds are omnivorous and will consume a variety of foods, including seeds, fruits, and insects, making cutworms a part of their diet, especially during the breeding season when they require more protein for their young. This helps control the cutworm population, which can be harmful to gardens and crops.
