AN UNDESIRABLE EMIGRANT 
Its arrived! yes, the Cabbage V/hite Butterfly 
(Pieris rapae) we warned you about in July 1939. A col¬ 
lector for the Biological Survey reports having seen 
some thousands of these serious peats on New Year’s Day 
at Rocky Head. They were flying in from the sea like, a 
cloud and continued their flight along the coast towards 
Stanley. Many settled in the districts as they went, 
and no doubt eggs were laid in the vegetable gardens. 
The caterpillar of this pest is a velvety green with a 
faint yellow stripe down its back and a row of yellow 
spots along its sides. Arsenical sprays or dustings 
control it. Vegetables of many kinds are destroyed 
by this caterpillar, and as the eggs will be hatching 
in the coming months everyone should keep a strict look 
out for them and immediately report any found. If any 
eggs, caterpillars, or butterflies, of this species are 
found it would be a great help if specimens were sent 
to the Secretary, The Biological Survey, or to Dr. Evans, 
Government Entomologist, Hobart.
