It is important to know the reproductive habits of insects. Butterfly eggs are fertilized inside the body of the butterfly.
Fertilization in butterflies occurs inside the female butterfly's body during the mating process. After copulation, the male transfers sperm to the female's reproductive system, where it fertilizes the eggs as they are being laid.
There is great significance of the butterfly eggs being laid under the leaves. One reason is so that the eggs can survive.
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.
After a butterfly lays eggs, it typically does not live very long. The lifespan of an adult butterfly is relatively short, usually only a few weeks, as its main purpose is to reproduce. Once the eggs are laid, the butterfly's life cycle is complete and its role in the continuation of the species is fulfilled.
The average butterfly lays several hundred eggs. The number that hatch into larva depends on the conditions in which the eggs are laid.

Butterfly eggs are the reproductive cells laid by female butterflies, typically found on or near host plants. They are small, often round or oval-shaped, and can vary in color and texture depending on the species. The eggs serve as the first stage in the butterfly life cycle, eventually hatching into larvae, or caterpillars, which will mature into adult butterflies.
Nope :P
Butterfly eggs develop outside the body. They are usually laid on the underside of leaves to hide them from predators.
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.
