	Last week while I was gone to California for the National Canon Envirothon competition with the Rockdale 4-H Envirothon team, we had our first confirmed sighting of armyworms in lawns in Rockdale County. In late summer, almost every year, these caterpillars invade turfgrass throughout the state. Some years it’s bad in Rockdale County and some years they miss us. But they are here this year.
