Growing Rocket, also Arugula/Rucola

I planted a rocket plant fron the nursery and it settled in ok, but I've noticed a little white butterfly visiting and laying tiny single white eggs which I've been squashing. Is there anything I can do do to deter these butterflies

Hi there, I've got white powdery splotches growing all over my rocket. It's spread through it but hasn't infected any other leaves in my mesclun mix. It doesn't come through the leaf and grows on the underneath. I haven't noticed it turning in to any other sort of bug. Can you tell me what it is?
