We collected a total of 46 cabbage root fly eggs from around our 15 newly-planted cauliflower plants.

The 3 yellow water traps caught:

• 11 male and 23 female cabbage root flies
• 38 bean seed flies
• 63 pollen beetles
• 44 flea beetles
• 2 cabbage stem weevils

There were 4 turnip moths (cutworm) and 1 silver Y moth - no diamond-back moths (2 pheromone traps per species).
