Butterfly Eggs

Butterfly Eggs

As part of the butterflies life cycle, after mating the female butterfly lays her eggs on or very near to the food plant on which the larva feeds.

The eggs are usually laid on a particular part of the plant, e.g., on the leaves, flower heads, or in crevices on the bark. Usually they are laid on the underside of the leaf where they are protected from bad weather and predators.
