oops - meant to save that last email as a draft email and accidently sent it 
- arg

short story is I planted the cabbage by a knee high allium and the cabbage 
closest to the allium kept the cabbage moths at bay.  the cabbage I had 
planted near to the oregono plant still attracted a moth 

might be a stretch for your rhutbagas - but I intercropping showed good 
results at my place

Also, This resource guide might be helpful for this question or others 
similar,
IPM Integrated Pest Management  http://www.entomology.umn.edu/cues/

Includes bug pictures and info 

Take care and let us know how it goes!

I tried an experiment last summer and had interesting /good results

I planted 3 cabbage just to see if the cabbage moths would come

cabbage maggots? I want to
grow Rutabagas in MN in zone 3b and evidently they are a problem there. I've
read that ladybeetles may help.
