Oops, I think this butterfly took the 'cabbage patch' game a little too seriously! 🦋🥬 Introducing the mischievous Cabbage or Small White Butterfly - it fluttered its way into North America in 1860 and has been causing quite a stir ever since. This tiny troublemaker may look innocent with its delicate white wings, but don't be fooled by its charming appearance! It's now become a widespread pest, wreaking havoc on cabbage crops across the continent. In this print captured by FLPA photographer David Hosking, we witness nature's artistry at play. The exquisite details of this European invader are beautifully showcased as it gracefully perches upon vibrant green leaves. Its presence serves as a reminder that even the tiniest creatures can have significant impacts on our environment. Who knew such an elegant creature could cause so much chaos? Perhaps it's time for farmers to invest in some butterfly-sized scarecrows or miniature nets to protect their precious cabbages from these winged mischief-makers! So next time you're enjoying your coleslaw or sautéed greens, take a moment to appreciate the battle between humans and butterflies that takes place behind the scenes. And remember, when life gives you cabbage pests. . . make sure they end up in someone else's garden!
