Question

When moths and butterflies lay eggs are they regarded as Moth/Butterfly eggs or caterpillar eggs?

In: Biology

Answer 1

Moth/Butterfly eggs.
To illustrate the point, when a human gives birth, do they give birth to a human baby or a teenager baby?
That’s the human equivalent to what you are asking.

Answer 2

There’s no such thing as “caterpillar eggs” caterpillars do not reproduce. Moths/butterflies are the adults of the species who lay eggs.
