Hello there! Well, to answer your question, butterflies lay their eggs during late spring and early fall. To add more, butterflies have this sticky substance they use to cover their eggs so it won't fly away. Speaking of leaves, butterflies are really smart because they know exactly what type of leaf they need to lay their eggs on. Hope this helps!

Oh, and please DO NOT delete this answer. My cousin says she needs this for her project, and since she doesn't have a phone, I can't tell her in person. She's going to find this and use it for her project. So, thank you for your cooperation ;D
