The rolling hills of Tungkillo, South Australia exemplify the typical peaceful and desirable countryside. The butterfly riding the wind currents, likely a Pieris rapae, only lives for about three to six weeks but in that time, causes much destruction. Within their larval stage, they devour many Brassicaceae (crucifers) such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and brussels sprouts. These butterflies are not native to Australia, rather they were brought in from Europe and Asia accidentally, becoming one of the most common butterfly in Australia and New Zealand. While they do not travel much farther than a kilometre typically, a female will travel up to twelve kilometres to find an ideal location to lay her eggs where there is a good food source. Whether this butterfly is just riding the wind or on her tenth kilometre in her journey to find food for her young, this pest will devour the local veggie garden if she decides.
