Insects lay their eggs on or near food, so when the babies hatch they wont be hungry and can grow faster. Insects want their babies to grow faster so they have a short period of many predators for their babies (which most carnivorous insects eat) and the adults have much fewer predators. a shorter period of predators for their offspring means they have a much more likely chance to survive.
