Egg Identification

[mbpi at juno.com]

Hi, all.

Today we discovered some moderately clustered (4 on one leaf top, 15 on
another), conically shaped, yellow-green eggs with vertical grooves, on
our Tropaeolaceae (nasturtiums).  I read that Cabbage Whites will lay
their eggs on nasturtium, but the only whites we have (or had) in our
containment are Great Southerns (Ascia monuste) and Checkered (Pontia
protodice).

We do have Sleepy Oranges (Eurema nicippe):  will they lay eggs on
nasturtium?  No caterpillars were found...yet.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
