| I was wondering what was skeletonizing my white and red Russian kale (esp. the red which I don't have any more seeds for - grrr!). Haven't seen cabbage loopers, found something that looked like yellowish-white worms on the leaves 3 all in a row but not moving. Well today I pulled the kale and found these guys! I imagine Bt will control these? Wasps aren't. |

| Yeah Bt takes care of them. They are quite common around here. Dave |

| Figured Bt would work for any caterpillar. Have to see what the moth looks like - these are new up here. They aren't bothering the curly kale though I should just pull that now, that's the only brassica I'm growing. Think if I just pull all the kale and wait a few weeks I'll have them die out, or will it be just in time for the ones who have already matured (?) to lay eggs? I really hate to spray if I don't have to. |

| I got a bunch of different worms all over my cabbage etc this year. I picked them off and put on row cover and that kept the worms away without spraying. |
