The butterfly lays her eggs directly on the host plant of whatever that is for that kind , for example, the Monarch lay their eggs on the Milkweed plant. The Latin name is Asclepias. The eggs turn into caterlillars (cats). Since they are laid directly on the leaf of the host plant, the cats stay on that plant & eat the leaves. I hope this answers your question. Look on my facebook page, Flowers in Bloom to see the baby Monarch cats I had in my butterfly garden this summer. There are several sites with that name, so look for the icon (profile pic) with the gray butterfly, that's my page.
