We've had an influx of Cabbage white (Pieris rapae - I googled that ) butterflies in the garden this summer (we actually got one ).
As such, our nasturtiums have a number of butterfly egg clusters on there... and significant evidence of hatched caterpillars (and I don't just mean groups of tiny caterpillars... we're talking lots of holes in the leaves grrrrr....)
Mini Corn cobs
The babies...
...doing what caterpillars do!
Also, this cocoon type thing on the Rhododendron
And finally, a Ladybird
