Term: Cabbage Looper
« Back to Glossary Index
You might know these little guys as inchworms. Cabbage loopers are actually small caterpillars with big appetites. They love to munch on broccoli, cabbage, kale, cauliflower, and collards. Planting early in the spring will prevent the worst infestations. After picking, immerse your harvest in salt water to remove any cabbage loopers along for the ride.
