You may not have had Cabbage Looper then. Its a night-flying moth, as opposed
to Imported Cabbage Worm, which is a daytime white butterfly. The looper worm
is skinny, green with thin white longitudinal stripes and moves like an
inch-worm. But your idea is good. I should do a little research on it next
season.
