My poor little brassica plants were getting eaten and I was sure it was slugs or snails but a closer look revealed happy green caterpillars.
I was pretty sure these were the progeny of small white butterflies and confirmed it by checking a row of yellow dots along each flank . . .
. . . and a faint yellow line down the middle of the back.
We have also had caterpillars of the large white butterfly who, like the small whites, enjoy nasturtiums as well as cabbages.
Quite a different colour scheme: black spots on a green background with a clear yellow stripe along the back.
