Moth eggs aren't really bad for you, but I would suggest not eating them. I once ate some on a Girl Scout cookie.
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.---------------------------------------------------------------------

A female moth can lay anywhere from a few dozen to several hundred eggs at a time, depending on the species.

A Yucca Moth caterpillar eats yucca plants. The adult moth lays her eggs on yucca plants.
The Yucca plant gives the moth a place to lay her eggs, while the moth helps the plant reproduce. The moth brings pollen from other Yucca plants to the female portion of the plant. It then deposits the pollen into the plant. The moth also lays its eggs in the plant. Once the eggs hatch the lavae feed on the Yucca plants seeds that were formed by the pollen that the moth brought. Since both animals are benefiting from this relationship, it is called a Mutualistic association.
Female moths emerge from their cocoons with all their eggs fully formed in their abdomens, and the eggs are not fertilized until they are being laid (by male gametes stored in the female's spermatheca from mating). They keep laying eggs until they die in most cases. In other words, almost any female moth you find is a "pregnant moth", which is why there is no literature on behavior of pregnant moths.
The Yucca Moth can only lay it's eggs in the yucca flowers, but it helps the yucca, fertilizing the flowers. The yucca needs the moth to spread pollen, and the moth needs the yucca for a place to lay it's eggs. This is mutualism.
female moth lays the eggs on the mulberry leaves
The mother of a caterpillar is called a female butterfly or moth, as they are the parent that lays the eggs from which the caterpillar hatches. The female butterfly or moth typically lays her eggs on or near plants that will serve as food for the emerging caterpillar. Once the eggs hatch, the caterpillar will feed on the plant before eventually forming a chrysalis or cocoon and undergoing metamorphosis into an adult butterfly or moth.
Yes. Pretty much every moth species mom abandons her eggs, actually. They just need to be laid in a safe spot and be close to their host plant.
