This interesting cone of egg cases are on the underside of a cavolo nero leaf and I've not seen anything like it before.
I'm pretty certain it is neither cabbage white (I was out squashing those eggs when I found it) and neither is it the brassica/harlequin bug of which we have many. The egg cases are elongated, mostly cream with a black band and form a solid cone or pyramid shaped raft in multiple layers.
Maybe another kind of butterfly?
I'll leave them be until I see what hatches out; yes, I know that plan didn't turn out so well in Alien ...
