I meant to post this Macro Monday last week but forgot. It’s a follow-up to my Macro Monday post two weeks ago.
These are the recently hatched caterpillars of a Large White Butterfly. All the eggs have now hatched and most of the egg shells have been eaten by the caterpillars. They eat the egg shells because they contain plenty of nutrients, then they start eating the Nasturtium leaf the eggs were laid on.
