Hello,
I recently found these eggs on the leaf of a celandine.
I have asked the butterfly foundation about it, but they are convinced that it is not the eggs of a butterfly.
Does anyone know who deposited these eggs here?
Thank you in advance for your efforts.
Sincerely,

Dear Jeroen,
The eggs seem to be in some kind of web and I suspect that this is the clutch of a small spider. But I wouldn’t put my hand in the fire for it.
Kind regards,
Rudy
