At least your Nasturtium has plenty of leaves. The catterpillars in my garden have ravaged mine even though they only have a handful of leaves so they never manage to mature.

I’ve had loads of butterflies and caterpillars around me this year! Nasturtiums look like crap – ha!
I’ve never seen so many butterflies in my part of the UK… I wonder why the disparity? Perhaps there’s somewhere extra perfect close by so they’ve gravitated there? I only grow nasturtium as caterpillar food, it’s a fricking weed in my garden now so they are more than welcome to it.

Are these ladybird eggs?

Nationally they’re hoping it’s a good year, but if you’ve had a bad one maybe you could take part in the national butterfly count? https://bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org/
