Cauliflower has the highest number of worms among the vegetables we eat. A range of worms can spoil cauliflower crops before they even start to develop crowns for harvest. Cauliflower is a cool weather crop that requires a minimum of four long months between sowing seeds and harvesting, so it is very important to keep a close eye on each cauliflower plant, especially when they are young, looking for worms that can damage the crops above and below the soil's surface. Larvae of the Noctuidae family moth caterpillar attacked and ate-destroyed cauliflower at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 30/10/2023.

The Tineid moth or fungus moth is a species of moth belonging to the family Tineidae of Lepidoptera. Tineids are unusual among Lepidoptera as the larvae of only a very small number of species feed on living plants, the majority feeding on fungi, lichens, detritus, dander, hair fibers, woolens, silks, felt, and similar materials. The larva constructs a protective case from silk and camouflages it with other materials such as soil, sand, and insect droppings. Pupation occurs within the case. A Tineid moth Larva crawls on the wall in a house with its crazy decorated ancient time battle field-like shield shell which is very rare to see, at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 29/04/2023.
