The worms are millers, the ones that hit your windshield. If they are really thick hitting your windshield and your plant has been pollinated you can cover each ear with brown lunch bags to be organic. Usually the millers hatch after the sweet corn is mature and they head to field corn. There are some varieties that the shucks are tighter wrapped than others that helps. rockman
