A few years ago I passed a big field of caulies and cabbages, and
hovering over them was a massive cloud of millions of White
flutterby's,
next day I passed again and all there was left was a field full of
green


My experience is this:

- Several times week, patrol plants for eggs which I squash
- Last year, go away fro 9 days - no trouble
- This year, go away for 10 days - devastation
