Cabbage Loopers are just about guaranteed to appear on broccoli and
cauliflower. They are very common and usually don't disturb other

You can use Bt powder (Dipel Dust) or the liquid form called Thuricide.
It's an organic bacteria that targets just caterpillars or chewing larvae.
Just follow the directions on the label and you'll be fine.
