Abstract
Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus, 1758) * COMMON NAME(S): Diamond Back Moth, Diamondback moth or Cabbage moth. SYNONYM(S): Cerostoma annulatella Curtis, 1832; Cerostoma maculipennis Curtis, 1832; Plutella niveella Zetterstedt, 1839; Plutella cruciferarum Zeller, 1843; Cerostoma brassicella Fitch, 1855; Plutella limbipennella Clemens, 1860a; Plutella mollipedella Clemens, 1860a; Gelechia cicerella Rondani, 1876; Cerostoma dubiosella Beutenm ̧ller, 1889; Plutella albovenosa Walsingham, 1907; Plutella megapterella Bentinck, 1934. IUCN STATUS: Not Evaluated (NE).

LOCALITY IN ZAMBIA: Lusaka **, in Lusaka Province. LARVAL HOSTPLANT(S): Larval foodplants are Brassica and Solanum species. The diamondback moth lays its eggs only on plants in the family Brassicaceae. Nearly all cruciferous vegetable crops are attacked, but some are favoured over others. These include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, collard, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, radish, turnip, and watercress. Several wild species in the family also act as hosts, especially early in the season when cultivated crops are unavailable. The egg-laying females have been reported to recognize certain chemicals in the host plants, glucosinolates and isothiocyanates, that are characteristic of the Brassicaceae family (but also occur in some related families). These chemicals were found to stimulate oviposition, even when applied to a piece of paper. One plant species that contains the egg-laying cues is wintercress, Barbarea vulgaris R.Br. Indeed, diamondback moth females lay eggs on this plant species, but the newly hatched larvae die due to the effects of additional natural plant chemicals called saponins in the plant. The African Moths (2019) website lists the following yet to be identified cabbage family, Brassicaceae, species namely Iberis sp., Matthiola sp., Erysimum sp. and Brassica sp., plus one Solanaceae species namely, Solanum lonicera, as larval foodplants of the taxon.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
