The Tobacco Budworm is a small caterpillar that primarily feeds on the buds and flowers of plants in the tobacco family, as well as other crops like cotton and tomatoes. Its scientific name is *Heliothis virescens*, and it is known for causing significant damage to agricultural fields, leading to economic losses for farmers. This pest is typically green or brown and can be identified by its distinctive markings. The Tobacco Budworm undergoes several life stages, including egg, larva, pupa, and adult moth. Effective management strategies include crop rotation and the use of natural predators to control its population.
