    I spotted these eggs on my verbena boriensis this morning. Any ideas what they could be?

    Some kind of moth or butterfly eggs, but I wouldn't like to say which. Verbena are popular with a few species of moth and butterfly, much like buddleia and valerian, so could be anything, but going on the size I'd probably be thinking more moth than butterfly as butterfly eggs tend to be smaller and more numerous.

    Keep an eye on them and see what hatches out of them!
