Evergestis primarily feed on plants of the cabbage family, which can lead them to be considered pests in agriculture. However, these relationships between Evergestis species and their host plants are key examples of plant-insect interactions, offering insights into coevolutionary processes. While frequently viewed as nuisances, their presence is a vital indicator of the ecological health and dynamics within their habitats.
