Macrophotography footage of cabbage white caterpillars (Pieris brassicae) feeding on their host leaf after hatching. The leaf has been transilluminated. Cabbage white butterflies lay their eggs on a number of plants. The eggs hatch over a period of 2-7 hours, and the caterpillars then cause extensive damage by feeding on the host plant's leaves.Credit:Clouds Hill Imaging Ltd/ SPL / Science SourceSize:768px × 576px (~96 MB)Restrictions:No Sale through SubagentsGet PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:animal-biology-butterfly-cabbage white-caterpillar-caterpillars-clip-close-up-detail-eating-entomological-entomology-feeding-film-hatched-host plant-insect-larva-larvae-larval-leaf-leaves-macro-macrophotograph-macrophotography-motion-nature-nobody-no-one-pieris brassicae-plant damage-transilluminated-transillumination-video-zoologyDuration:14sParent folder:20160624_spl003_31
