"Monarchs have to be careful not to lay more than one egg per plant (or leaf) because, when they hatch, the caterpillar will eat its own eggshell. The next thing it will do is wander over and _____."

Challenge Question # 10
"How do you suppose Dr. Brower completed his sentence? Explain why you think monarchs typically lay one egg on a milkweed plant (or leaf)."

We think the sentence should be, "The next thing it will do is wander over and start eating!"

If there was more than one egg on a leaf, the caterpillars might not get enough food.
