The diamondback moth is also called the cabbage moth, because it lays its eggs almost exclusively on cabbage family crops. Starting in spring, the moths lay eggs that hatch into tiny green caterpillars with forked tails, often in large numbers. They do not have the velvety skin texture of cabbage worms, which are a different pest. The caterpillars are less than ½ inch long with whitish heads and feet. |
