What is a "diamondback moth"?
A diamondback moth is a small but destructive pest that primarily infests brassica crops such as cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. It is named after the distinct diamond-shaped markings on its wings. The larvae of the diamondback moth feed voraciously on the leaves, causing significant damage by creating irregular holes and extensive defoliation. This pest is known for its ability to develop resistance to insecticides, making control challenging.
