Default Green caterpillars on beans

Hey, that worm has relatives in my garden eating my tender cabbage
plants. I garden to the West of Ottawa near the village of Barry's Bay. It
looks like the larval stage of the white cabbage moth. What a rotten pest. I
use BT powder. Ritchie Feed and Seed has BT. Good luck

The Wife (TM) has been finding green caterpillars munching on the leaves

of her
beans. Can anyone identify what this caterpillar was, just before She

whacked
it? It was about 1/2 inch long. Is there a Weapon of Mass Destruction

that
will kill any that are still lurking? We are in Eastern Ontario. Here is

a URL
where you may see the beast:
