The cabbage butterfly, also known as the cabbage white butterfly, is commonly found in gardens and agricultural fields throughout North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. They thrive in areas where their host plants, such as cabbage, broccoli, and other cruciferous vegetables, are present. These butterflies are often seen in sunny, open spaces and are particularly active during the warmer months.
It's called a cabbage butterfly, because it eats cabbages
The cabbage butterfly larvae, also known as cabbage worms, feed on plants in the Brassicaceae family such as cabbage, broccoli, and kale. The adult cabbage butterfly feeds on flower nectar, but does not have a specific favorite food as it primarily focuses on mating and laying eggs.
The cabbage white butterfly prefers to lay eggs on cabbage or nasturtium leaves because their caterpillars feed on these plants. Cabbage white butterfly caterpillars are specialized to digest compounds found in cabbage and nasturtium, allowing them to grow and develop successfully. This plant preference ensures the survival and growth of the next generation of butterflies.
