Most lay them on leaves so that when the catipillars are hatched, they have leaves to munch on. Some lay them on water too, depending on the type of butterfly.
Aas for the actual laying though, that's a quick process of 'spurting' the eggs out on to the area they are laying.
Butterflies lay eggs which hatch into caterpillars. The caterpillars grow until eventually they spin a cocoon which they stay inside until their wings are formed. They come out of the cocoon as butterflies and then they find other butterflies to mate with so that they can lay more eggs.
Butterflies don't protect their eggs. They just lay them on the underside of a leaf and fly away.
