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. :((
