Cutworms on my jalapenos

[caffeinecrash]

Hey peeps, I planted a tray of jalapeño seedlings outside, and overnight half of them were cut down at the stem. I think it’s cutworms. How to deal with this?

you need to take immediate action! Handpicking: Go out to your garden at night with a flashlight, about an hour after dusk, to catch the cutworms in action
hey are most active at night. During the day, you can find them by gently digging in the top few inches of soil. When disturbed, they curl into a C-shape. just collect and dispose of them

Most likely they are. But yes, try what @all5picy recommended.
