Field Notes

Notes:

The imported cabbageworm occurs in temperate regions around the world, and was first observed in North America in 1860 at Quebec City, Canada. It dispersed rapidly, and by 1886 was found in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain states. It is now widespread in North America although few cabbageworms reportedly survive the winter in most of Canada.
