Dawn
Well it isn’t an appropriate moment to be filmed, but then I was taking pictures of the Alamandas and on this tin,y branch above them I saw these cabbage butterflies. I could have cropped it and presented it to you but I like the whole picture.
At first I thought they were yellowing leaves before I realized that they were moving and looked nothing like the leaves. The cabbage butterflies are very common here. The spoil all our cabbage , broccoli and cauliflower crops. They lay hundreds of eggs under the broad leaves and in no time hundreds of caterpillars crawl around eating the leaves , they don’t stop there, they get right into the heart of the cabbages and eat through them until they are ready to become pupae.
I have such a love hate relationship with them as the spoil my cruciferous vegetables.

They are beautiful creatures but if they can damage our crops then that would be another thing to consider.
I have no hatred for any animal but mercy for then as innocent creature.
Beautiful photo. Actually, I hate worms.
Fantastic shot. I have love hatred for the ants
Very beautiful picture … I have love hatred for snails and ants that will devour me the whole produce
I see these a lot in my yard but did not know the damage they could cause.
