We had always called these butterflies Cabbage Moths, but now it appears they are really called Cabbage Whites, or even Small Whites, since they really are butterflies, not moths.
Cindy's keeping a vigilant eye on them, whatever you call them; we're trying to encourage all the butterflies to go to the butterfly garden in the front yard, instead of the vegetable garden in the back. Their caterpillars are welcome to chew up all the Asclepia and Buddleia they want, but stay off the veggies.
