Caterpillar of Orange Tip (Anthocharis cardamines) on Cuckoo Flower (Cardamine pratensis) in Bonn-Kessenich

In spring 2018, I had planted the Orange Tip (Anthocharis cardamines) plants that had been eaten by Orange Tip (Anthocharis cardamines) caterpillars in a damp spot in my garden. In the spring of the following year, I was surprised to find Orange Tip (Anthocharis cardamines) eggs on these plants. This is one of the caterpillars that hatched from them.
