Eggs on leaves

[cariann88]

Does anyone know what critter these eggs belong to? Found under a leaf.

Butterfly, looks as if it is on a nettle so shouldn't be a problem. If they are on food crops squash them!!!

Yeah, agree with Roitelet. I didn't know that butterflies laid eggs on nettles, but have just googled it and apparently they do!

OH found them on a flower leaf. So they okay to leave on there then if I see any more?

Personally I would keep an eye on them so I can "thin out" the caterpillars if they look like taking over and ruining the plant.
