It is reported for the first time Moringa oleifera Lamarck (Moringaceae), as a host plant of Glutophrissa drusilla (Cramer, 1777), where it feeds on leaflets. The life cycle, based on 3 males, lasted 17 days (egg = 3 days, larva = 8 days, and pupa = 6 days). The effect of planting M. oleifera as a factor that would positively affect the increase of G. drusilla populations in urban areas of cities and towns in Venezuela is discussed, as was the case with another Pieridae, Anteos menippe (Hübner, [1818]) by the introduction of Senna siamea (Fabaceae).
