Eggs on Buddleia
Eggs on Buddleia
I was wondering if somebody could identify these eggs for me please? They've been laid on the leaf of a young Buddleia 'Silver Anniversary' and whatever laid them has then rolled up the leaf and stuck it together with silk. I realise they may not be butterfly, or even moth eggs, but hopefully somebody can identify them. Thanks.

The only UK butterfly I've ever heard of laying eggs on buddleia is Painted Lady.

Re: Eggs on Buddleia
The Mullein moth caterpillars are often found on buddleia, but I can't find a picture on the internet of their eggs. But I'm not convinced these are Lepidoptera- shape looks odd and a spun leaf seems unusual.

Thanks for the replies. I'll check them daily and post info/photos when they hatch.
