Description

The Cabbage White is one of the most common butterflies. Caterpillars can cause economic damage to cabbage, broccoli and collards crops. Males have one black spot....Females have two.

Cabbage Whites get food from flower nectar. They visit many flowers including dandelions, red clover, asters and mints.

Cabbage Whites were introduced to America from Europe around 1860. Today, they are found all over the world.

Predators include birds and insects (mantids, beetles and ants).

Hope your weekend is filled with 'flutters'!!<:))
