No, only the adult (moth or butterfly) is sexually mature and can lay eggs.---------------------------------------------------------------------A caterpillar does not lay eggs. A caterpillar is the juvenile of an insect like a butterfly or moth that when mature will lay eggs.---------------------------------------------------------------------
A female moth can lay anywhere from a few dozen to several hundred eggs at a time, depending on the species.

The Yucca Moth can only lay it's eggs in the yucca flowers, but it helps the yucca, fertilizing the flowers. The yucca needs the moth to spread pollen, and the moth needs the yucca for a place to lay it's eggs. This is mutualism.
Yes, moths lay eggs. After mating, female moths will typically lay their eggs on a suitable surface, such as leaves, twigs, or other materials, to ensure the survival of their offspring.
Some overwinter for months before hatching. Some only take a week or so. The callosamia angulifera and antherea polyphemus I'm raising now hatched from their eggs in 22-25 days.
The number of eggs a moth lays can vary depending on the species. On average, moths can lay anywhere from a few dozen to several hundred eggs in their lifetime.
Moths lay eggs that hatch into caterpillars just like butterflies do. Only after it forms and hatches from its cacoon does it resemble the adult moth.
once the caterpillar turns into a moth it will have a short time to find a mate and lay its eggs.
The moth will live in the fur of the sloth until it is time to lay it's eggs. Once a week the sloth goes to the bottom of the tree to lay it's waste. The moth then flies onto the waste and lays it's eggs. After all that the moth hitches a ride on the moth to live the rest of its life.
it's abdomon\buttox will double in size,and it will walk instead of flying until they lay their eggs.
Silkworms, which are the larval form of silk moths, lay their eggs on the leaves of mulberry trees. The female silk moth lays hundreds of eggs in clusters, which then hatch into tiny caterpillars called silkworms.
