Indeed
This female appears to be laying her eggs among the aphids on this branch. I missed this shot this spring in the Ozarks. Nice job.

Very cool one, the caterpillars eat the aphids.
Might want to check the date though.

Thanks guys!
I didn't know butterflies had carnivorous caterpillars!
As far as the date???? No idea how that happened! I'll try to change it. Thanks for noticing.
