Most butterflies lay their eggs on plants: on the top or bottom of leaves, on the flowers, on twigs, in the chinks of bark, or on the plant stalk. Some butterflies lay their eggs near the plant: on dry grass stems, dead leaves, or on soil. By laying their eggs on or near plants, the newly hatched caterpillars will have something to eat.
