die worm die!!!

16 years ago

My poor brussel sprouts are getting eaten alive by a cabbage worm!!! I pulled two off of them yesterday. I couldnt find anymore and I checked all the leaves.

Anyone ever wonder where the hell these come from? Its a new garden plot, theres really no one growing any gardens in my area, yet here they are in my garden eating my brussel sprouts and a couple of my red cabbage leaves...

Where did you come from evil little worm?!!??!?!!?!?!?

If you observe your brussel sprouts you may notice two different types of pretty moths fluttering around. One is pale green and the other is white. These moths are the adult stage of cabbage worms.
Insects go through different life stages including egg, larvae, nymph, and adult (I believe that not all insects go through all of the stages). If you really want to be prepared you should Google for different stages of common insect pests.
