'Tineola bisselliella' is the scientific, Latin or binomial name for the clothes moth. This insect has the unusual reputation of a moth that tries to avoid light and lighted areas. It also has the reputation of getting its food by being able to turn the keratin of wool and other natural fibers into food sources.

But this ravenous damage is done only during the larval stage, as a caterpillar. The adults as male moths seek mates and the adults as female moths seek egg-laying sites. In the process, neither one of them eats.

'Plutella xylostella' is the scientific, Latin or binomial name for the diamondback moth. The moth is the small, inconspicuous, grayish-brown adult stage of the insect. It's so called because of the white or pale yellow diamond pattern that forms when the wings come together at rest.

The moth lays yellow eggs that hatch into a green caterpillar. The caterpillar is a most enthusiastic devourer of the leaves of such related food crops as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, mustard, radish and turnip. Between the caterpillar and the moth stages is a yellow pupal stage.
