The Cabbage Looper is a common pest that primarily affects crops in the Brassicaceae family, such as cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. This green caterpillar is the larval stage of the trichoplusia ni moth. Cabbage Loopers are known for their distinctive looping movement, which they use to navigate while feeding on leaves. These pests can cause significant damage to plants by eating holes in the leaves, leading to reduced crop yields. Farmers often manage Cabbage Loopers through integrated pest management strategies, including the use of natural predators, insecticides, and crop rotation to minimize their impact on crops.
