Default Cabbage - Pests and no Pests

I pulled about half my cabbage today, 8 heads, what I thought was salvageable.


My plans for an abundance of sauerkraut will not reach fruition this year. The extended cool weather was good for cabbage this year. Unfortunately a bug thought so too. The roots looked good. Among the damaged heads were Brunswick and Charleston Wakefield. On the plus side Glory Of Enkhuizen wasn't attractive to the pest and, small as it was, it is becoming coleslaw right now. Can I compost the cabbage with the bugs in it or is that a huge mistake?This is the culprit with damage in progress:
