Is this laying an egg - or just a coincidental round nut on the leaf on the first photo?

Hi @LisaH, sadly I think just a coincidental non-egg in the background. Lovely images of a hard-to-photograph butterfly.

Thank you - thought it might have been a coincidence :(. And yes, it was a very lucky shot - always on the move. Thanks again
