Aphids, caterpillars, larvae and whiteflies are examples of insects that live in cauliflower. Cabbage (Brevicoryne brassicae) and green peach (Myzus persicae) species of aphids mix with caterpillar stages of moths and small white butterflies and the larval stages of flies around, in and on cauliflowers. The cabbage moths Hellula undalis, Pieris rapae and Trichoplusia ni and the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella and the small white butterfly Pieris rapae provide cauliflower-loving caterpillars while the flies Liriomyza brassicae and L. sativae supply cauliflower-loving larvae and the silverleaf whitefly Bemisia argentifolii tenders cauliflower-lovers after the egg stage.
