The effects of different larval foods (a wild cruciferous host plant, Rorippa indica and a cultivated cabbage, Brassica oleracea var. capitata) on flight fuels and other nutrients in the adult diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella, were studied. The amounts of glycerides tended to be higher in the adults grown on R. indica than in those grown on B. oleracea. The amounts of other nutrients, glycogen, total sugars and free amino acids tended to be lower in the adults grown on R. indica than in those grown on B. oleracea. The amounts of glycerides were not different between the sexes but other nutrients in the females tended to be higher than those in the males, especially when the DBM grew on R. indica. These facts suggest that larval host plants influence nutrient allocation between flight fuel and egg production in the DBM.
