Update on diamond–back moth

It seems that many of the very large number of diamond-back moths that have arrived in the UK since the beginning of June may be reaching the end of their life. However, female moths will have laid eggs before dying and it is likely that some of these eggs will now have hatched into caterpillars and be causing damage to brassica crops.

Because of the current interest in this pest some additional information has been summarised here.
