Do Caterpillars Lay Eggs?

Question

Solved!

After a bit of a hunt on the internet, i've discovered it had had eggs injected into it by a parasitic wasp which hatch then eat the caterpillar from the inside out before crawling out (they really look like eggs!)

Answer 1

yes millions.

Answer 2

but noname, wouldn't the caterpillar be dead though and the things that crawled out be crawling?

I'm not convinced that's the answer either.  I added this question to my watch list because I didn't know what they were and wanted to know.

Very curious.

Answer 3

no a butterfly lays eggs for caterpillars

Answer 4

that caterpiller was taking a dump on your window. only moths and butterflies lay eggs
