Possibly - given that a lot of S Europe is suffering a drought, chance

Cabbage whites have had all the watercress already.

I live in a city and we do not get many (compared to when I was a kid)
but we have had cabbage whites, speckled woods, holly blues, sm.
tortoiseshells all in small numbers.
I have just been fiddling with some cauliflower plants and one had two
small batches of caterpillars (the rest were clean) so just to be
perverse, I left them. I can afford to lose one plant and it will be
too cold for them to harm the overwintering plants, soon (if they grow
fast enough to pupate).
