Butterfly eggs ID please

There were some of these, which I think are large white butterflies



but the eggs didn't look quite like large white to me.

Not sure but I think they may be cocoons instead of eggs. Could be wrong though.

Looks to me as though the Large White larvae have been parasitised by the ichneumon, Apanteles + the parasitic larvae have emerged to pupate in these coccoons as WW suggests they are.

That's a little fly? Gosh. It seemed as though all the eggs on that plant had gone the same way.

Thanks for the info!

The parasitic larva of Apanteles emerge from the caterpillar and spin these yellow cocoons on the outside of the large white larva to pupate in.

Thanks, Lance!
