Found these little lads on the broccoli in the greenhouse,
Will try and get some better shots tomorrow
I think they are cabbage whites, but may be wrong

The last shot is beautifully detailed, and the colours are really nice. Well done.

Cabbage whites they are - and if you don't pick them off you'll have nothing usable left !

5 cabbage whites in the greenhouse this morning.
Despite my best efforts. I haven't been able to find any that haven't been either caterpillars or butterflies
Was hoping to get a few going through the process. 😶😶😶

These are Large Cabbage Whites which pupate in the eves or such like vertical surfaces - Small Cabbage white pupate in the ground. Get them picked of ASAP, this is what is left (at time of posting as they are still munching away) of my Nasturtiums, try and get them before they head for the eves

I'm resigned to losing my nasturtiums this year so this lot will be going in the garden waist bin - complete with caterpillars - next collection day, just got to keep picking them of the wall before hand
Cheers

Great detail, tho I can't say I'm too keen on the subject 😉
