Cauliflower plant

Question

I am a first time cauliflower grower. My cauliflower heads are finally producing, but I see many small bunches of light green spheres on it. They are pretty mushy to the touch, and I am just not sure what they are! They tend to disintigrate when I touch them. Please advise as to what they are thanks!! They did NOT appear on my broccoli plants.

Answer 1

This is likely damage from a Cabbage worm.
