What it does
- Deters cabbage white butterflies from laying eggs on your crops
- Oversized design looks more intimidating to egg-laying females
- Simple, effective natural pest control for veggie gardens
- Easy to mount on stakes or hang around your garden beds
Meet the Decoy Butterfly, a clever piece of 3D printed outdoor gear that helps protect your garden from cabbage white butterflies. These little pests love to lay eggs on brassicas, but they're surprisingly antisocial about it. When they see another butterfly already claimed the territory, they'll move along to someone else's kale.
This decoy is intentionally oversized to look extra intimidating to egg-laying females. Just position a few around your garden beds and let nature's territorial instincts do the work. It's a simple, chemical-free way to protect your crops.
Fair warning: you might catch a few confused male butterflies trying to woo your decoys. Don't worry, males don't lay eggs, so they're harmless. Just let them figure it out on their own.
