Beth's Patch ~ Female Cloudless Sulphur

On 6/3 when there was hardly anything even growing the Cloudless Sulphur stopped by - not on;y our first of the season but laying eggs on the Partridge Pea which was barely 4" tall.  Round and round the garden she flew laying eggs on every plant she could find.  Then I watched the eggs until after the hatched and the caterpillars were starting to eat their fill.

Laying eggs

There's one of her eggs.
The egg hatched several days ago and the caterpillar is looking healthy on 6/12/20.
