Nice. Unfortunately hard to see the laying from that angle.
Difficult to get any further though I expect.

nice photo but if you hadn't told us we would not kno wabout the egg laying.

You won't actually see the egg because the egg is being inserted inside the grass stalk, which is why the tip of the butterfly's abdomen is touching the stalk. But point taken - this shot is probably of more interest in a butterfly website. Thanks for the comments.

good exposure and sharpness / composition.
like the expression on the eyes.
