Brimstone oviposit

Mrs B visited my tiny Alder Buckthorn. This is year 4. Hopefully all will go well and I have a high eclosion rate

Brilliant find and excellent photograph. These are regular visitors to the garden, but hardly ever stop for a moment.

@markp get an alder Buckthorn & Mrs B might decide you are a suitable foster parent for her babies.
Thank you very much

Got loads of Hawthorne, and Blackthorn. I will have to have look at Buckthorn. There was a Brimstone feeding on a Dandelion today, but by the time I had run in, got the right lens on it and got back out, it was flying again !

@markp Brimstones are fussy, only Buckthorn or alder Buckthorn for their babies. Mine is in a pot because they can grow quite large if you don't contain them. I had put a bird net round the tiny tree & hoped that not only birds but also Mrs Bs would stay away. Didn't work, another came today so in a few weeks I will have to relocate a lot of tiny caterpillars.
