These are some little dudes that I work with, diamondback moth and cabbage maggot. Not good for brassicas!

A pretty moth, quite small, resting on a cabbage leaf. It is brown, with a pale cream pattern on the top.

A fly, much like a house fly, against a white backdrop. It has red eyes and is fairly handsome, depending on your taste.
