Very interesting that she's laying onto Citrus, this species only uses caper plants from the Capparaceae family as far as I'm aware. Can you keep an eye on the eggs and see how they go and track their progress?

Thanks Suzi - I'll try. Also, the tree was an orange tree, not lemon - oops! But still citrus.
