Cabbage worm

Crocidolomia pavonana

Description:

They are initially grey, and become green with a yellow dorsal stripe. They have a brown head. Initially they feed only on the undersides of the leaves, leaving the upper leaf membrane intact. Later they attack the central shoot, feeding communally in a web. Over their larval period of about three weeks, they grow to a length of about 2 cms.

Habitat:

The species is found from South Africa through India to the Pacific.

Notes:

My friends see in the school and we put it in the box in the classroom. It's green and grow quite fast. It can eat flower and leaf.
