Yes, auntnance, it's the same bug...you actually got the bug laying the eggs! That's neat. We have different Latin names. Although the wiki pic looks different there are several other references that show my name ...I will do some more research. They are on cabbage family plants.Cool eggs aren't they?

Cute. Appears it likes good produce.

I got a picture of the eggs hatched too--tiny orange bugs.
