The view from my bed is my allotment site, rambling down the hill to the distant houses. Today the site was speckled with what I can only describe as flocks of Cabbage White's, spiraling in big soaring pillars, ducking and diving, weaving across the sky; literally hundreds of the blighters.

A beautiful sight, but I know what it means for the brassicaceae on our site.

Our 4 cats are catching ours.. it is a bit unnerving when they bring them into the bedroom though, but we do have them all over the house..bless the cats.XX Jeannine

Pass us a couple of your cats Jeannine,  Since I originally posted, they have arrived.  Not in swarm proportions, but a-plenty.

I'm with you manic,
I have a 'zapper' but as one hovers over the net to 'zap' one of the beggers inside, it pops out?
I expect it will pop back in again as well.
