Helicoverpa

Genus of moths

Helicoverpa is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae first described by David F. Hardwick in 1965.[1][2] Some species are among the worst Lepidopteran agricultural pests in the world, and three species (H. armigera, H. zea, and H. punctigera) migrate long distances both with and without human transportation, mixing resistance alleles along the way.[3]
