More butterflies on the way!
This Great Southern White was laying eggs on Virginia Pepperw**d. Watch her lift her abdomen to lay the eggs under the leaf. This might seem like a w**d to many, but for butterflies it's their lifeline.
Remember that w**ds are just plants that you haven't discovered their purpose for. :D
Look closely at the video. To the right of the butterfly there are 2 Great Southern White caterpillars!
