Beth's Patch ~ Red-spotted Purple Butterfly

I was out tin the yard for a walk thorough to see what butterflies were there.  When I went out I saw a Red-spotted Purple butterfly flying around the hackberry tree.  She soon moved over to a small potted cherry tree that I wasn't able to plant yet.  As I watched her, she laid about 10 eggs right on the very tips of the leaves.  I am hoping she comes back tomorrow to lay more eggs.  I can't wait until they hatch.
