I have those in the garden too. They are a pain , lol! Yes, great experiment for the kids 😊
Hope you got them under control friend!
Ive seen your channel before during my gardening searches, However ive never clicked on yours! Just now though, ive watched 3 in a row and I love that you are giving real factual information!!!! Not just talking. Thanks! And you have a new subscriber :)
So glad to hear that you are finding the videos helpful! Thank you so much for subscribing! 😍
I had these earlier in the year. Started spraying the brassicas with BT (Bacillus Thuringiensis) about every 2 weeks and seems to have dealt with the issue.
Glad to hear that! :)
OMG, you made me laugh, telling that story about running around, chasing those little beasts. Great visual! LOL! I did it while running around with the garden hose, trying to spray them in mid air . . . they are fast little farts!
So, I was told a couple years back, when I first started the veg garden, that if you plant the kale in different places each year, the cabbage moths will have a harder time finding the new plant. What a bunch of malarkey that was! Then I heard if you spray the underside of the plant each morning, the larva will die in the dirt or be eaten. I tried it, and it worked, but it is not practical. I had too many kale plants.
Thank you for the tips, that actually work!
Hi C Bryce, Oh my gosh we both had a good laugh, ha ha!
My husband said I looked like a crazy person running around with the broom! Lol! The DE seems to work better than Neem oil as it can also dry out their eggs. I planted kale in the front which is a new spot this year, but they still found them! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching. Have a great weekend! Misilla
Thank you for sharing.That would help me in my garden.
Nice video footage. So much learning to be done in the garden!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Hey wow I saw a few of these butterfly/moths the other day but had no idea ......thats y I love ur videos so much!!!
just want to thanks u again for having giveaways ..im so happy with the light and its working out amazingly I also received ur letter and the packet of seeds cant wait to do a lil research on the seeds and get planting .... keep up the great gardening and work🥰
I’m so excited for your indoor garden! Keep me posted and you’re welcome Anisha! Have a good day! 💚
I have been dealing with these. Great timing to watch this. They look so cute crawling around on the stump.. haha
Did you get them all? I'm still picking them out!
Good vid,thanks for the help
Glad it helped, you're welcome!
I do neem oil soap routine every 10 days around 7 or 8pm. So far my plants are fine. Touch wood. I think I have not harmed any beneficial insects so far. As They do visit the garden on a daily basis. I don't want to deal with those caterpillars. Thanks for the video Missila
You're welcome Nartana!
Good information. I actually made a natural spray with garlic, crushed pepper and some other things. I have a short on my channel with what I used, and it has been working well so far. I just have to reapply after the rain, or every couple days. I really like how you have the science experiment with your kiddos!
I really like the way they look 😂 they look small and cute
They are kind of cute, lol
I planted my 1st garden ever. I kept it aerated all season. Was planted next to a garage. I didn t see one worm on any of my plants. Once the cabbage butterflys showed up i found out a lot I didn't know. Part of the territory I guess. At 1st I ignored them, till after about 2 weeks one landed on my broccoli. So I watched it, went over to check it out and I was like, what the,... one of the plants had some leaf damage. So I blamed them for the carnage and checked plant every 1 or 2 days. Now when I checked I noticed spiders, birds always in my garden, ants I reduced and 1 praying mantis. Physically, obviously as plants grew, got to be a never ending battle. Was in a headon crash, surgerys, I used the garden to strengthen my neck, looking down was a nightmare. So I just said the hell with it. Surprisingly the garden took care of itself, I did check for worms, never found Any.
I thought it was pretty funny the music set behind the butterfly... I think it should have a dark ominous melody😉 I have footage on my security camera: me swinging my hat around like a madman at these damn devil butterflies all day... 😂
I try to scrape the eggs off early through Summer but I noticed the scraping damages my beet leaves, so I have to be gentle.
I use neem oil with a sponge paintbrush from the dollar store, to avoid overspray.
Good ideas! Thanks!

I've had them before, these little tormentors decimated my cabbage about 3 years ago. I hand picked them and fed them to my fish. This year I had green horned worms come after my cherry tomatoes. I hand picked them as soon as I saw them. I got them all early and saved my tomatoes.
Just saw one this morning!
Glad you got them all. I lost a few kale seedlings, but I planted extra, thank goodness. Have a great weekend!
@@LearnToGrow1 Thank you. Love the channel. Lets keep growing.
You’re welcome and thank you! Yes keep growing! 😀
thanks for great content! will you please include a showing of your butterfly habitat in an upcoming video?
You're welcome! I'll try and update. Thanks!
Nice information. I Have one more problem in my garden and that is ants.
Can you please suggest anything for those
Hi You can sprinkle DE diatomaceous earth on the area and also keep an eye out for aphids, as ants eat their waste. They have a symbiotic relationship. You can spray the aphids with neem oil or dust the plants with DE. Thanks for watching! Misilla
Just saw a green horn worm this morning trying to get to my Cherokee purple tomato plant.
Give them to the wild birds 😊
I've seen the white butterflies; but, they don't hold still enough for me to look at the closely to see if they look like the ones you showed in your video. I've never seen the caterpillars, though. I have neem oil; but, have yet to use it. Last year, I dusted my plants with diatomaceous earth in the evening, then rinsed it off in the morning. The most determined insect that I've had to deal with has been the earwigs. They chew holes in the leaves. The diatomaceous earth helped slow down that attack.
I need to put DE, we have earwigs too eating the chards, thanks for the reminder Donna. Have a good weekend!
New sub here. I'm in the southern hemisphere and so our gardens are just starting for summer. Have you used garlic spray before? My last garden I did. And was fairly successful. However as the plants matured we had to suddenly move out and i didn't get to see it through
Hi Sharon, I have used garlic spray last year and it was effective, but I ran out of the garlic concentrate. I could have made some from fresh garlic though. Thanks so much for the reminder! I hope you have a wonderful season! Thanks for watching! Misilla
@@LearnToGrow1 good to know its effective throughout the season
Iv'e heard you can make a paper cabbage butterfly and put it on a stick of wire which will deter other CB's as they are territorial and won't encroach on another CB's turf. I'm gonna try it tomorrow in conjunction with my newly acquired BT, as I am getting a lot of tiny caterpillar's.
Interesting! How did it go? Thanks for sharing!
@@LearnToGrow1 Well no more caterpillars but I'm not sure if it is the BT or my paper butterflies. I'm now having issues with ants.
Nice video
Thank you!
@@LearnToGrow1 anytime
When do you take your row covers off?
Hi Linda I take the row covers off when the weather warms in spring and once the plants set flowers so the pollinators can get to them. Thanks for watching!
when do the caterpillars feed? Do they come out at night or during the day?
Hi the adult moths are active at night and lay their eggs on the leaves. The caterpillars eat throughout the day. I see them mainly in the morning and early afternoon.
@@LearnToGrow1 here in hawaii, the cabbage white's are active in the day.
I try to hand pick them in the daytime.
It's hard to look and handpick sometimes. If you don't stay on it, before you know it, your plants are decimated :( I have not been good with staying on top of spraying either. Next year I will be using tulle....Just cover them. That will be the easiest thing for me I think. I didn't know you had chickens!! You should show them sometimes
Yes the tulle idea is perfect! I haven't shown the chickens in years! I will soon! Have a good weekend!
I don't have that but l got is like brown insects l don't know the name it ruins my peppers plant and cucumbers so l try baking soda and l try to put dish soap but they are hard to get they are pretty fast so what do l need to do please help thank you for your video where l live is very cold we got around four month to plant by September it started to get cold a lots of snow so one more time thank you god bless and l hope your garden be. Okey.
Are you able to take a picture of them?
Hi Carmen, Have you tried spraying your plants with Neem oil or dusting with DE diatomaceous earth? You can also try wiping them off with a wet and soapy paper towel. I hope you got them under control. Thanks for watching! Misilla
I just ordered kaolin clay that is mixed with water and sprayed on the plants. I have yet to apply it but it makes the plant look ghostly.
I have never heard of that. Thanks for sharing. Gonna go check it out =)
How did it go with the clay? I us Kaolin clay as a facial mask! :)
As with alot of the intend to do I have not gotten around to it.
I have been having fun spraying the thrips off with the hose about once a week. That seems to disrupt them.
Just posted by the latest video unfortunately I had to cut it short because my drill died on me but a family get to show the blank for my lamp that I'm making and it took over 100 layers of cardboard trying to show people what they can make with drink boxes that just get throw it away
Thanks I'll check it out!
@@LearnToGrow1 thank you
How do you kill the butterflys ? (Squash it ?)
Yes, you can do that
The point of the video starts at 3:28 in case you don’t want to sit through all the fluff.
I took probably looked like a crazy person trying to flag the buggers in the air, did that in spring. I put the plants behind 1x1in mesh...buggers then got trapped inside, had to release it. So now moved on to a mosquito net to cover the greens.
I probably looked the same with my broom, he he! I should get a mesh next year. Thanks Stefan.
Would a hot pepper spray work on these?
Hi Yes, got pepper is a natural insect repellant. Spray every other week or so or after it rains. Thanks for watching!
I haven't had great success with neem oil, but diatomaceous earth seems to work very well for many insect pests. Also, companion planting has worked very well for me. Most bugs don't like garlic, so I intermix garlic with my tomatoes & peppers. Carrot flies don't like onions, so I plant carrots & onions in alternating rows. Ever since I started doing this my carrots have no worms and they're super tasty.
Yes companion planting is a wonderful method to deter pests! Well done! I'll be planting garlic and shallots in the next few weeks! Love planting herbs throughout the garden to repel pests. Have a great weekend and thanksa for watching!
Misilla
I've seen a bug that looks just like that I don't know if it the same species as the one in this video but the caterpillars at all my basil and chopped my tomatoes down
If they're big, plump & green... Probably the horned tomato worm. They'll eat half a tomato plant in one night.
Ditto, what DD O'Brien said. Thankfully, I've not had the horned tom worm. They are beasts!
Thanks DD O'Brien!
No relocation for Me...they eat my crops..its Bye Bye time for them
Wasps eat them so don’t kill the wasps, they have a purpose.
Yes good point. we leave the wasps alone. Thanks Diane.
Best thing to do is to cover your crops
Yes I agree, I finally bought new ones. Thanks!
