Like Pete said in another thread, there are pictures in this forum that far exceed many in published work and I see quite a few in this thread!

Freshly laid Orange-tip ovum.
Orange-tip ovum after four days. And notice the excessive amount of glue used to attach this ovum to the stem. Same ovum after one week, just about to hatch.Diary entries for 2015 have been archived.

A nice series of Orange-tip ovum photos, Nick. This is the quality of photos and subject coverage I would like to strive towards. Great .

Nick,
Wonderful shots of the Orange Tip ovums. It is my favourite butterfly and I was lucky to see and photograph my first ovums in 2014. Will have to go some to out-trump those shots though. keep em coming!

All the best, Nick.
Orange-tip 1st instar larva, just emerged from it's ovum. Out at last.... A quick look around.... Then back to it's empty egg shell.... Where it takes it's first meal, by eating the shell....

Re: Nick Broomer
That's it! I can't take anymore. Who wants to buy my camera?
Absolutely fantastic Nick. If youv'e got any turning into a pupa, then a knighthood will be more appropriate.

Re: Nick Broomer
I don't know what to say . You honour me with your very generous and kind comments. Thank you everyone, i am very flattered, and appreciate your kindness.
David, i was going to post the five instar larva stages of the Orange-tip, but i will adjust my next post. Do not want to push my luck.
Kev, i do have a couple of photos depicting the pupa forming, but it is one stage i always seem to miss out on capturing the whole sequence.
Guy, i was very fortunate to have quite a few ovum layed on plants i had in the garden, or within a couple of minutes walk of my house; so made it a lot easier to keep an eye on them.
Thank you all again.
All the best, Nick,

Orange-tip in the middle of pupating. The finished item, found in the garden on some Blackthorn. This one is such a lovely colour, but has been attacked by a parasite.
