Claim: The Spodoptera littoralis moth lays 20-1,000 white to yellowish eggs on the bottom side of a plant's leaves and then coats them with scales from its abdomen.
Evidence: Female moths lay a batch of eggs that ranges from 20–1,000 eggs on the lower side of a host plant's leaves. These white-yellow color of the eggs turn black just before hatching due to the presence of black larval head near the transparent shell. After the eggs are laid, female coats the eggs with scales from its abdomen.
