 Moths are active usually at twilight and at night, feeding on flowers of cruciferous plants, but they also fly in the afternoon during mass outbreaks.The agriculture industry has been trying to find biological and natural ways to eliminate the diamondback moth especially since the moths have become resistant to pesticides.Common enemies of the moth include the parasitoids "Trichogramma chilonis" and "Cotesia plutella" and the predator "Chrysoperla carnea", or lacewings.
