[Title] => Tiny insect is farmer crops’ protector in Cordilleras
[Summary] => A tiny wasp-like insect has evolved as the "knight in shining armor" protecting vegetable crops in the Cordilleras.

The "bad guy" is the diamondback moth(DBM), so-named because of the diamond shapes on its back. DBM voraciously feeds on the foliage of crucifers (cabbage, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, pechay, mustard, and radish).
