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.
