What in the world? Worms?

Its late November and just after Thanksgiving I noticed tiny hole in the leaves of my red cabbage plants up on the balcony so I did some research. About the only thing I found that was common is cabbage worms or butterfly larva. That sounds odd to me lol being this late in the season. However, I found a forum that suggested sprinkling flour on the leaves. It said the worms will eat the flour and basically blow up....ewww factor lol, but I gave it a try so we shall see in a few days. Another trick suggested was to boil water and let it cool a little, not much and pore it over the leaves but I am thinking that will kill them lol. Any suggestions would be wonderful with this problem.
