Just a quick update for everyone regarding the Wood White egg which was laid in Crawley on 10th June. I ended-up taking the egg into care and reared it in the garden at home because the Council started to cut the embankment where it had been laid. The egg hatched on 20th June and after 29 more days the adult (a female) emerged this morning and was released back to its site of origin. So now is the time to start looking at all white butterflies in your area just in case it's a roving Wood White. I hope to compile a detailed report, which will appear in a few months time.
