Wow, they are everywhere! According to wikipedia:

Army cutworms are one of the richest foods for predators, such as brown
bears <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_bear>, in this ecosystem, where
up to 72 per cent of the moth's body weight is fat, thus making it more
calorie-rich than elk or deer.[10]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_cutworm#cite_note-10> This is the
highest known body fat percentage of any animal.[11]

And according to the New Mexican:

`... they do not carry disease, Formby said, and they’re not the type of
moth that will get into your clothes closet and start shredding your new
camel hair jacket.`
