Cabbage WormThere are different species of cabbage worm, including the imported cabbage worm and the cabbage looper. They can all be incredibly harmful to cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and other cabbage-like plants. Cabbage worms are green in color and are approximately 1 ½ inches in length. The adult form of the imported cabbage worm is a white butterfly, but the adult cabbage looper is a brown moth.
