Anthocharis cardamines - Fresh egg This morning Jane spotted an Orange tip ovipositioning. She let her be and later found this egg on the same flower. It is clearly very teneral still, should soon become yellow.<br /> <br /> Indeed, two days later: https://www.jungledragon.com/image/115663/orange_tip_egg.html<br /> A few days later still: https://www.jungledragon.com/image/116157/elvis_has_left_the_building_.html<br /> Anthocharis,Anthocharis cardamines,Egg,Eggs,Jane's garden,Orange tip,Pieridae,Teneral,nl: Oranjetipje

Orange tip egg Same egg, still fresh (a few days earlier):<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/115059/anthocharis_cardamines_-_fresh_egg.html<br /> Same egg, empty (a few days later):<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/116157/elvis_has_left_the_building_.html Anthocharis,Anthocharis cardamines,Egg,Eggs,Jane's garden,Orange tip,Pieridae,nl: Oranjetipje

Shot this empty shell about a week ago, but we couldn't determine which of the lil' caterpillars belonged to it.
To make up for that I'll upload another egg with resulting caterpillar a few hours old.

      Happy to oblige sir! ;o) And yes, the purple haze is a special touch - unusual place for an egg, mostly we find them on the stems of the host plant. Mom must have been stressed out or some such ... Posted 4 years ago
