Butterfly eggs

Lord Vetinari

You may remember the first shot of what I think are cabbage white butterfly eggs. I've been checking them everyday and there was a significant change the other morning.

wonderful, its a bit late for them now!

Thanks for the comments everybody

Bob - Pretty certain they are one of the cabbage whites.

Phil - Not certain how long it would take them to pupate but don't they overwinter as pupa ?
I suspect it is too late anyway - Went to look at them yesterday and they had disappeared with what looked like a few carcasses on the leaf. Think they may have been got by a marauding wasp.
