Abstract

In the first part of this chapter, past and present depredations of Pieris brassicae have been collected together by country. It will be seen, however, that information is lacking from a number of countries and that there is great contrast between the amount published about different countries. This review of depredations by P. brassicae thus serves to highlight those areas where further information is needed. Helpful comments of many entomologists have been incorporated in this chapter to give a current assessment of the state of P. brassicae in the various countries.

“... we forget our enmity to the ‘filthy grub’, which destroys so many of our useful products of our garden, when we see it metamorphosed into an ember of Innocence.”

Peter Rylands writing in The Naturalist (1837)
