To be fair to Waitrose, it must be quite difficult to inspect every single floret, with all those nooks and crannies for them to hide in.

It pupated on 29th April and the moth emerged on 7th May, so they have a very quick turn-around! I'm sure quite a few of those we catch in light-traps now will be locally bred rather than migrants.
