 Cabbage Moth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Moths are notable for apparently being attracted to light, or more specifically, areknown to circle ambient objects.
Moths are thusinclined to circle ambient objects in the Mach band region, usually at a radius of about one foot, depending on the species.
Moths of the type understood to be "attracted to light" are, instead, flummoxed by the proliferation of artificial lights intheir local environment, which, if brighter than the brightest celestial object (e.g., the moon), will usurp that object'ssignificance as the reference point for the moth's flight.

 Cabbage Moth
Cabbage moth caterpillars often bore right into the hearts of cabbage, caulifower, mustard, broccoli, brussel sprout, Chinese cabbage, radish, turnip, celery, beets and watercress making them unfit for the table.

 Cole Crops (Leafy Brassicas) XXIII - Caterpillars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Several different caterpillars commonly infest brassica crops in the region.  The cabbage looper is the larva of a night-flying cutworm-type moth.  It is generally green, with fine white markings, and has only three pairs of prolegs on the abdomen, causing it to walk in a looping manner.
The smallest of the caterpillars affecting crucifers is the diamondback moth.  The adults are small moths which have a row of white diamond markings when the wings fold.  Larvae are light green and highly active, readily dropping from the plant when disturbed.
There are multiple generations of all species and they can be found throughout much of the growing season.  Diamondback moth is found very early, and develops on many wild winter annual mustards in late winter and early spring.

 History
It seemed that we didn’t have quite so many cabbage moths as the last year, but there were still enough of the little buggers to ruin most of our cole crops.
She said to me (or I said to her) “I wonder if that pea row fencing stuff is made with smaller holes?” So we went shopping and after several days, we eventually found one roll at one store that had 1/8th inch spacing between the wires.
And if it worked for us, it would work for everyone else who had problems with the “dreaded cabbage moth.” So now we are offering the incredible, highly effective, quite durable and long lasting, easy to set-up, easy to store Moth-Blocker™ to you.

Both organic and conventional cabbage growers have few control options for diamondback moth, and are eager for ways to prevent its damage.
In Japan, the moths are known to migrate from southwesterly islands to the temperate climate at Honshu and Hokkaido.

I think no.s 1 and 2 are Cabbage Moth - the pattern is right, although the W mark is only showing on one wing, and the shape of the end of the wings is right - more rounded on Common Rustic.
Well if it is the size of a cabbage that would surely rule out Common Rustic Have yet to see Cabbage moth myself and can't argue against this being one.

 Diamondback Moth
The diamondback moth, DBM (Plutella xylostella), is the single most destructive pest of cabbage and leafy greens worldwide.
However, because of their small size, relative to cabbage looper (CL) and imported cabbageworm (ICW), it takes approximately 20 DBM larvae to defoliate as much cabbage as 1 looper, or about 2 ICW larvae.
This beneficial wasp consistently parasitizes 70-80% of larva populations (at least for mid-and late-season cabbage in MN and WI; we have less data for early plantings which can also be hit hard by DBM).
