Mostly likely the caterpillars of the cabbage white butterfly. They can strip any member of the cabbage/kale family down to the veins over night. The only real prevention is to cover them with a fine mesh so the eggs can’t get laid on there to start with.
Can confirm. Lost three brussel sprout plants to these little fuckers. I have broccoli that I need to plant outside but I’m not doing it until my mesh nets come in. Lesson learned.

Dang. Too late now I guess.

Yep, probably these guys.
Those the the ones! They look so sweet and innocent and pretty, until you grow kale, cabbage, bok choy, etc.
