Weekly trap captures of Helicoverpa zea and Heliothis virescens moths were collected from five locations around Stoneville, Mississippi for the period 1992 through 2015.  These data are potentially important meta-data for many scientific studies conducted by federal and state entomologists in the Stoneville, Mississippi area.  Resulting weekly, monthly and annual trap captures were studied for possible correlations with availability of new insect control technologies, crop diversity and insect abundance.
