Reproduction Patterns of Diamondback Moths Adult diamondback moths overwinter and in the spring, the females deposit their eggs on leaves. The eggs hatch in less than a week and the young larvae begin to feed, mining tunnels into the leaves of cabbage plants, broccoli, cauliflower, and other plants of the cabbage family. Later, the larvae will eat holes in the leaves of those plants and eating parts of the plants' heads. This larval stage can last anywhere from 10 days to a month before they pupate. 
After 5-15 days of pupating, the adult diamondback moth emerges ready to mate and deposit her eggs, continuing the cycle. Adults may live anywhere from 2-8 weeks and there are usually about 3 to 6 generations of diamondback moths in a season.
