Moths of the black cutworm have brown or grey-black forewings with a dark arrow-mark streak broken by two dark ring-shaped dots. Moths of the pink cutworm have grey-brown forewings with darker markings and streaks and a large inner light mark and darker outer mark. Moths of the common cutworm (sometimes referred to as ‘Bogong moths’) have dark brown or grey-black forewings with dark arrow markings on either wing above a dark streak broken by two lighter colour dots. Generally larvae of all species grow to about 40-50 mm long and are relatively hairless, with a distinctly plump, greasy appearance and dark head.
There are several species of pest cutworms that are all similar in appearance.
