Most butterflies lay their eggs on plants that will be eaten by the caterpillar, when it hatches. Some species lay their eggs on the tops of leafs, some on the bottom, some at the leaf axils, some on flowers, and some on stalks. Which species do which is not known in all cases.
No, only the adult (moth or butterfly) is sexually mature and can lay eggs.---------------------------------------------------------------------A caterpillar does not lay eggs. A caterpillar is the juvenile of an insect like a butterfly or moth that when mature will lay eggs.---------------------------------------------------------------------

How many eggs a female butterfly lays can vary slightly by species. On average a female butterfly lays 100 eggs at one time.
The eggs would not hatch if not fertilised by a male. A female butterfly will lay her eggs only after being fertilised by a male butterfly.
You should know this, but if you don't, butterflies lay eggs on leaves. They are so smart, they know where to put their eggs. If the butterflies doesn't know and puts it in a random leaf, that could be a problem.
