bob, not sure if you have svb's in your state, but its quite possible that you do. they usually dont show up untill mid to late june, and stick around through august. even if you've never grown pumpkins before, if they live in your area, they will find you. so a good preventative spray program should be put into effect.

Does anyone know about the Prairies in Canada? Never have I seen that type of moth.
