Those green caterpillars are eating your kale. Hungry, hungry caterpillars.

Probably "cabbage worms"

Look under Life Cycle to see your green guys

Collect them in a pail of soapy water to kill them. Another treatment for a minor population of cabbage worms is neem oil. It won't kill the insects directly, but it will prevent them from feeding on your plants.
