A wonderful moment of a fresh stunning Black-veined White female ovipositing. This was the first time I watched this species in the process of egg-laying. And from such close distance. Wow! The brave butterfly momma did a great job. You can even see her yellow ovum on a food plant leaf of Crataegus genus if you zoom the picture in. Indeed, happiness can be found in small things, as small as a butterfly egg.
