'Diamondback moth' is a common name for Plutella xylostella. The insect is a much dreaded pest that in its larval stage ravages such related food crops as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, mustard, radish, and turnip. The moth stage tends to leave a lot of eggs on the host plant, and the larval stages tend to eat as much of the food source as possible, from the undersides of the leaves.
