Super-nice information here: http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/veg/leaf/diamondback_moth.htma One little thing that could be worth cheching up though, I have not managed to find any other species in the Plutellidae fam, so I do not know if there are a lot of similar moths to this spotting! I also found data on that this one has been spotted in central Norway...
