Anyway, now that we are approaching the egg-hunting season I have a question for you guys. It is well known that females prefer sunny and sheltered spots on blackthorn to lay their eggs on relatively new growth but is there another factor in the equation? Presumably both sexes take honeydew and feed on nectar but for females do the nectar sources like bramble and Hemp Agrimony have to be within, say, 50 metres, of a potential egg-laying site? It is probably a daft question but I thought I'd ask anyway in case anyone has some thoughts on this. Females wouldn't want to expend too much energy in flying between feeding and egg-laying.
