Abstract: A total of twenty-two insect species were found feeding on different parts of cauliflower plants (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) at some stage of their life cycle. The species are distributed in five insect orders as follows: Coleoptera (7), Lepidoptera (6), Homoptera (6), Diptera (2) and Thysanoptera (1). After reviewing earlier literature on cauliflower pests in the Maltese Islands, the present work gives a species list, with global distribution and additional notes where appropriate. Six species are recorded for the first time from the Maltese Islands.
