Lepidoptera - Caterpillars
Tomato leaf miner larvae (Tuta absoluta)
Noctuids larvae Armyworms (Spodoptera spp.), Cotton bollworm, Corn earworm (Helicoverpa spp.), tomato looper (Chrysodeixis chalcites), cutworms (Agrotis sp.), silver y moth (Autographa gamma).

The nematodes enter the pest and release symbiotic bacteria into the body cavity. These bacteria convert the larval tissue into a food source, on which nematodes feed, develop, and reproduce. The host pest dies within a few hours to days after infection. The Infected host turns yellow to brown but may be difficult to find, due to rapid degradation in the growing media, or, as with foliar pest, it simply falls to the ground.
