Do you have anything on the white cabbage moth?
It's spring here in Australia so I've started seeing them pop up again :>

TODAY'S FACT IS
Did you know that the Cabbage White (Pieris rapae) is a small butterfly believed to be native to the eastern Mediterranean but has spread through much of the northern hemisphere and into Australia and New Zealand? The gluttony of the caterpillars give them part of their name as they loooooove to eat cabbage and similar plants, enough to be considered a pest in such gardens. The adult butterfly gives it the rest of its name because it's, well, white. They are often mistaken for moths because of their simple appearance.
