Are the eggs laid fertilized or are they fertilized later, afterward? I imagine that they are fertilized at some point.

Monarch eggs are about the size of the head of a pin and come to a point at the top. They're creamy-white in color and are covered with many ridges. Each butterfly egg has a hard outer shell which protects the developing larva and it’s lined with a layer of wax which helps keep it from drying out. When a female lays an egg, it's fertilized before being attached to the milkweed plant. Monarch eggs have tiny funnel-shaped openings at one end, called micropyles. Since eggs get their hard shell before they are fertilized, this hole, which penetrates all the way through the shell, allows sperm to enter.

After an egg is laid it takes three to four days to hatch. (All stages of metamorphosis can vary in the length of time it takes because butterflies are cold-blooded or poikilothermic, meaning that their internal temperature changes depending on the environment.) The egg remains creamy-white until the monarch caterpillar’s black head capsule can be seen at the top, and within several hours the tiny caterpillar will chew its way out, only to turn and eat its own eggshell as its first meal.

I wonder if it is talking about caterpillars.
