Cabbage white caterpillars

[soozie]

Hi All,

Has anyone suffered cabbage white caterpillars on tomato plants?😠 I've got rid of the little blighters on my land cress plantlets but some have shredded the leaves on my tomatoes, both of which are in the greenhouse. Never seen this before...thanks

Hi Soozie,
I had this problem a few years ago. They are not cabbage white caterpillars but the tomato moth caterpillar - probably. Here is a link you might be interested in
