\u00a0\u00a0 Jochen M\u00f6hr writes from\u00a0 Metchosin:\u00a0 Finally, I was able to catch a few pics of a Sara Orangetip – albeit only with the tele-lens.\u00a0 But she was obviously going for the right stuff.\u00a0 And I don’t even know what those plants are called.\u00a0 Are they a variety of mustard?<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Jeremy Tatum writes:\u00a0 \u00a0I\u2019m not very good at botany, but I think I\u2019d call the plant Hedge Mustard Sisymbrium officinale<\/em>.\u00a0 Will a botanist out there confirm or otherwise?\u00a0 The butterfly is a female, and she was probably considering laying one or two eggs there.\u00a0 I don\u2019t see any eggs in the photo, but you might go out and see if you can find the plant again.\u00a0 I have usually found eggs on Arabis, Barbarea, Cardamine<\/em> or Lepidium<\/em>, but Sisymbrium <\/em>wouldn\u2019t surprise me.<\/p>\n
