Don’t Touch These If You See Them on Your Plants

One of life’s greatest pleasures is tending a garden. It is really fulfilling to see your plants flourish and to eat the veggies (or should I say fruits!) that you have grown. The world isn’t always a bed of roses, however. The fight against pests is never-ending, and in the insect kingdom, it may be difficult to tell friends from enemies. I was recently intrigued by a social media photograph of a leaf adorned with small, complex black geometric designs. It was so odd it may have been a plant disease or a lattice from another planet! My first reaction was one of concern, as did many others.

However, the truth became apparent when one looked more closely – these intriguing patterns were really the eggs of Nymphalis Antiopa butterflies. A Butterfly’s Magical Mourning Cloak
Allow me to introduce you to the Mourning Cloak butterfly, in case you are not acquainted with this fascinating species. Its fascinating life cycle and other remarkable features make it an ecological wonder.
Where should we begin? With those enthralling eggs. The images I saw made them seem like a thin coating of black lace embellishing the leaves.

Upon closer inspection, their unexpected beauty becomes apparent. Clusters of these eggs are evidence of the perfect geometry in nature.
I felt a combination of amazement and dread at first, as do many gardeners. “Will they have a positive or negative impact?” It occurred to me. I am relieved to report excellent news!
Ally or Enemy? Why Mourning Cloak Butterflies Are Beneficial

If you’re a gardener, you probably wouldn’t mind if the Nymphalis Antiopa caterpillars munched on willows, elms, and poplars instead of leaves. So, you may relax if your garden is overflowing with blooms and veggies. Because they eat on rotting fruit, these butterflies really help the decomposition process along, so they’re not all bad.
