Diamondback moths tend to eat the underside of the leaves. However, they don't like the veins of the leaves so they stray away from those..

The accepted scientific name is Plutella xylostella.

There are about 25,000 species of insects in the Philippines. Some of these are leaf insects, the diamondback moth, the cutworm and Hellula.
