Yes, Paul was sure that's what it was. It was in pretty well every stalk along the outside row but didn't move into the field. Thanks Tracey.

Here is a pic of Common Stalk Borer : http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/icm/files/images/stalkborerearly-2.jpg If it is Stalk Borer, then yes, he is correct. Since the larvae would be in the stalk already, spray would not be effective. Plus, we tend to find this insect only at very low densities and has not reached thresholds in Ontario that I know of. Let me know if that is what you found. Otherwise, we can see about getting some samples to me to identify. Tracey Hi Brent

Paul Robinson identified it as Salk Borer and said no treatment was necessary. Just wondered if you were seeing much of this. Tracy, I noticed some feeding on my corn.
