Butterfly eggs are normally attached to a plant--usually the leaf--with a special fluid. This glue holds the eggs to the leaf in such a way that they cannot be separated without destroying the eggs. Small funnel-shaped openings called "micropiles" can be found on top of each egg. This is where water and air enter while the egg is developing.. The eggs and egg-laying habits of butterflies are as varied as they are. Some lay eggs individually on the undersides of leaves; others on the top sides. Some lay eggs in groups, and the caterpillars hatch and feed close together for a time. Still others stack their eggs in little towers. Butterfly eggs can be round, ovoid, or shaped like.
