Diatreae grandiosella is an insect and moth classified as a Lepidopteran and belonging to the sub-order Heterocera. It is regarded as serious agricultural pest, destroying corn(maize) crop. Undergoes diapause.[1][2] A serious agricultural pest of corn (maize). Predators and parasites of moths
Infestation is sometimes controlled by the use of pheromone lures.[3] Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacterium, is often applied as a pesticide.[4] Efforts have been underway to breed strains of corn (maize) that are resistant to the Southwestern corn borer.<ref>The First Decade of Genetically Engineered Crops in the United States.

Nocturnal insectivores often feed on moths; these include some bats, some species of owls and other species of birds. Moths are also eaten by some species of lizards, cats, dogs, rodents, and some bears. Moth larvae are vulnerable to being parasitized by Ichneumonidae.
