Monarch Butterfly Egg
|
Monarch butterflies begin life as a very tiny egg on the underside of a milkweed leaf. The female Monarch butterfly lays each egg, one at a time, one egg per plant and only on milkweed leaves. She lays hundreds of eggs, on hundreds of leaves, one egg at a time. She is very careful with each egg. Inside the egg a baby caterpillar grows for three to six days. This is a very close up picture of one egg. Isn't it small? |
