Answer 2

Whitefly - they pierce the leaf and drink the sap.  But the sap is under too great a pressure for their bodies to cope, so it tends to leak out of the back end.  This sugary liquid (called honeydew) is then colonised by fungi and you get sooty mould.

Ants will often 'farm' a colony of aphids for their honeydew, and will defend them against predators like ladybird and hoverfly larvae.

Butterflies and moths lay their eggs in the developing heads of the cabbages.  Once they hatch you have a load of very hungry caterpillars eating your veg from the inside out.

Pigeons are fond of cabbages, as are deer.

Slugs like eating holes in it.  Personally, as I don't, they're welcome to the stuff.
