Egg color… round, oval? Are these colors only moths can see?
You're right, someone h*cked up there. Good to know Monarchs have cream-shaped eggs though?
Yeah I'm starting to believe this chart may not be trustworthy...
I googled Luna moth eggs and it seems theyre more of a brownish shape (🤭).
It's getting real annoying having to sift through the bullcrap in search results...
Ugh. Sorry. Deleted my comment. I shouldn't have trusted the first result. :((

No worries :) thanks for your input!
Wow that looks spot on! And they're about 1mm in diameter.
Never seen those moths though...
