No. They are the babies. The caterpillars weave cocoons and stay in there until they turn into a butterfly. The butterflies then does stuff and later on, the butterfly lays eggs.

No, a Caterpillar metamorphose into a butterfly, and then the butterfly lays the egg. the Caterpillar is what comes out of the egg, it is the larva.

Caterpillars won't be able to lay eggs. The eggs ought to have come from some thing else or someplace else. Caterpillars are the larval (immature) degree of a butterfly or moth, and only the grownup butterfly or moth can lay eggs. some thing else laid those eggs, and no telling what. it would probable be a physically powerful concept to place the eggs in a separate container until eventually they hatch, or, much greater advantageous, placed them exterior the place you get carry of them in the 1st place. it is the only place they're going to survive besides.
