NOOOOOOOOOOoooooo!!!! BIG GREEN CATERPILLAR ON THE NORTH KALE (IN BROC BED)!!!!

S/he must surely be the cabbage moth caterpillar!

HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW?!?!?!?!?!?

I tulled the bed on April 28th, and added a second layer of tulle on May 22nd, and none of the kale/broc in this bed were anywhere near touching the tulle.  

Could it be that maybe...
- I tulled too late?  Moth came along while hardening off?
- This one emerged from the soil this year from last year's life cycle type of thing???
- An egg was laid on top of the tulle, and fell down onto the plant???

OMG

Now I'm going to have a realllllly close look at all my kales/brocs............  

DO I TEAR THEM ALL OUT AND PUT POTATOES!?!?!?!

TBD...
