Here in our village we have loads of butterflies. Just got back from a walk and seen speckled wood, ringlet, wood brown, small skipper, comma and da da a cabbage white. Heard crickets, chiff chaff,blackcap and buzzard. Saw brilliant blue damoiselles, Emperor butterflies and some honey bees. With the sun shining and a smiley dog I'm as happy as a pig in muck.

Saw another one Tues.

Could have been the same one circling your plot looking for an opportunity to strike

I have seen 2 this lunch time, both doing a low level recky of chrisnchris towers. 

I didn't have time let lose with any ack-ack, so no doubt the little blighters will be back. 

I'm ready for them 

Dont panic!!! Dont panic!!

Must have been one in my back garden at some point as I noticed the Tuscan kale plantlings had a little leaf damage and I found 4 small white eggs and 1 teeny weeny green caterpillar!

Needless to say - he won't be getting any bigger!

I haven't seen many either but I did put my fake butterfly in my sprouts so that may have kept them away

Give'em time, Heygrow

Still none here. Up until now, I have never, ever grown Summer cabbages to harvest with hardly a sign of the pests. I have now, and they are terrific.
If it carries on like this, even the brussels sprouts will be well beyond the stage where these pests can wreak their evil to any effective level. It's like a glimpse into a perfect parallel universe. Maybe the squirrels will recognise my hard work and  leave a note on my greenhouse, asking if they could put in an order and have a steal, after I've had my fill. Everyone happy, fed, and having a community snooze.

None seen in south east cornwall either - a few butterflies and bees around, but no cabbage whites x

[Goosegirl]

I've only seen a few here and they tended to be earlier in the season. My un-netted calabrese look terrific!

[mumofstig]

Warning!

They've found the winter cabbage seedlings in the garden, so I guess there will be loads soon ...........

Time for nets - if you haven't put them on yet m'thinks
