Silver spotted skipper - epargyeus clarus
silver-spotted skipper
We purchased a couple of butterfly nets at ToyRUs to deal with these cabbage butterflies (see photo below). They are already laying eggs on the seedlings. They look like tiny yellow pillars. I've been rubbing them off by hand. Will take photos at some point. Also have been removing their larva from broccoli (very small, very green, blend right into the underside of the leaf - likes to hide along the veins of a leaf).
