The Corn Rootworm Monitoring Network is comprised of extension educators and field crop specialists in 12 U.S. states and 5 Canadian provinces, as well as partners from the agricultural industry. Most importantly, the network relies on volunteer cooperators in these areas to monitor sticky traps during the summer when corn rootworm adults are active.
