Plutellidae
Plutellidae is a family of small moths commonly known as diamondback moths. They are characterized by their slender bodies and distinctive wing patterns, which often feature diamond-shaped markings. These moths are primarily found in agricultural areas, where they can be significant pests.
The larvae of Plutellidae are known for feeding on cruciferous plants, such as cabbage and broccoli. This feeding behavior can lead to considerable damage in crops, making them a concern for farmers. Effective pest management strategies are essential to control their populations and minimize agricultural losses.
