The eggs are green,  round and pin head size. The color may vary a bit.

I have also found that the butterflies don't much care for plain sugar water or
commercial mixes.  I use frustose, about a teaspoon per 200ml, little bit of
acerola powder and a smidgin , about a drop of wesson salts mixture. (optional)
 If you want eggs a drop or two of fat free milk could be added.  Swallowtails
are pretty poor at eating on their own so they will need to be force fed a few
times until they learn what the food looks like. Change food daily if milk is
added otherwise every 48 hours.
