The waiting game!!

I imagine myself running through long grass, butterfly net in hand and camera swinging wildly around my neck. I am of course dreaming!! else i would be a time travelling Lepidopterist.
Back down to earth now. 
Each year we grow in a large pot a couple of cabbages purely for the cabbage white family butterflies. They typically lay eggs around this time. I as a wheelchair person can position the pot a few metres away sit quietly and wait with long lens on a tripod, for the forthcoming flurry of activity.
The picture above is that of a little white, laying a single egg. The extra are eggs laid by a large white.
It was quite blustery, hence the macro shot not being very clear or sharp
