Pieris brassicae, commonly known as the Large White butterfly or Cabbage White, belongs to the family Pieridae, which is part of the order Lepidoptera.
The common host plants for Pieris brassicae larvae (caterpillars) are plants within the Brassicaceae family, often referred to as cruciferous vegetables or mustard plants. This includes a variety of agricultural crops and wild plants, such as:
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea)
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica
Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera)
Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis)
Kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala)
Mustard (various species within the genus Brassica)
Rape (Brassica napus)
Wild mustard and related wild species in the Brassicaceae family
The Large White butterfly doesn't have "host prey" as it and its larvae are herbivorous. The caterpillars are known to feed on the leaves, stems, and flowers of their host plants, often causing significant damage
