So, in pictures, look for holes. Once you see holes you know the green cabbage caterpillar is there. If you look on the leaves you will also see green droppings. Look carefully, you will see them. The caterpillar probably has a name. I will look for it. No it isn't Bill.
My kale... it attacks the leaves of the cabbage family. Notice the clear holes. The eggs are laid by those dang ugly white moths you saw about 1-2 weeks ago.
Green Caterpillar Damage to My Kale |
The caterpillar is in the above picture. But to make it easier take a look at the end of the stick.
The Caterpillar is Right on the Point |
I Moved it for a Better Look |
Removed and Killed |
If there is one there is more. Carefully check the leaves with holes. They don't like to move. Check the front and backs of the holed leaves and down the stem. I found three on this plant.
