Unlike most butterflies that attach their eggs to leaves or stems, ringlets simply drop their eggs amongst the grasses that their caterpillars feed on. Yesterday I photographed this ringlet and only managed to take one picture before she flew off, but by accident I caught her in the act of egg laying - I'm pretty sure that little greenish- yellow blob under her tail is a falling egg. How lucky is that? A chance in a million. Maybe I'll do the lottery this week....
