Cabbage White on Nasturtium

I went out for the mail yesterday, and saw a Cabbage White laying eggs. I followed her and got a couple. This one was laid on top of the leaf. I love that kind. It is so much easier to show people an egg on top of the leaf instead of the usual egg under the leaf. But this one will hatch long before my nest event. Maybe I will find another.
