Field Notes

Description:

Tiny yellow eggs in a clutch. Baby caterpillars and some bigger ones. All on one leaf!

Habitat:

Our garden on a volcano near the Caribbean Sea.

Notes:

On the same leaf I spotted these three stages of eggs hatching of I presume the same butterfly. One of the batches was of tiny caterpillars eating the egg sacks!
I was leaving for three weeks the next day and never saw what came out of the caterpillar. I did spot loads of white butterflies in the garden afterwards though, but I am not sure if they are "related"
