Cabbage Worms – Garden Insect Pests – Series

 

The larvae of cabbage worms can rapidly destroy a cabbage, broccoli, kale or cauliflower patch. Although slugs are often blamed, after a closer look, you’ll see these pale green larvae that grow up to an 2-3 cm and tend to blend in with the leaves or plant stems. White moths with black spots – lay yellowish, bullet-shaped eggs on the undersides of the foliage. You can use insect barrier fabric  in spring as soon as the seedlings are planted to prevent the moths from laying eggs. These barriers can be removed them once the plants are growing well. Planting a variety of flowering plants with vegetables will encourage predators that feed on cabbage worms.
