    I had a look, but none of my books hve this sort of approach. I looked up potentilla specific probs, and no joy, and then leaf related probs - no joy, then searched the web - no joy there either, so dn't answer! Hope someone else has some luck! :rolleyes:

    Was there any ham with them? :D

    There are several butterflies that have pale green eggs but the pictures show them as singles, not in that beautifully geometric pattern!

    I looked all over the web too, and also thought butterfly... but there's hardly any pics. I'm not moving them, I'll have to wait and see if they hatch!
