    Agree with LMRR, some of those first ones do look rather scary! The last four of the first lot could even be modern art, some of which are scary, too.

    Great shots of the mealworm, the second one is really interesting.

    Brilliant stuff Robert.
    How about trying a close look at the contents of the hoover bag?

    Plant stems cut across and magnified a few times.
    This first two are purple sprouting.
    Second two are a small potato stem.

    If you see any of these on the underside of your brassicas.
    Then I do believe you have the pleasure of white cabbage butterfly to help you consume your veg!
