I found a few harlequin bugs on my brassicas on May 9, 2017. They are considered agricultural pests because they can eat a lot of cabbage-related plants and multiply in great numbers. The white patches in the kale below were made by harlequin bugs, and they ruined all of the brassica leaves I was growing in Bed 2/Plot 4 of my garden rotation. I'm not sure if it's okay to eat leaves in that condition.

Then, on May 19, I found several nymphs on a leaf that also has opened eggs on it.
