Spodoptera cilium, known variously as Dark Mottled Willow, Lawn Caterpillar and Grasslawn Armyworm, is a noctuid moth found throughout much of Sub-Saharan Africa and western, southern and south-east Asia and several countries in southern and eastern Europe. It is a migrant to northern Europe and has been recorded at least nine times in the UK.
The larva feeds on Oryza.[1] It is sometimes a pest.
