Black swallowtail egg ID?

[Marc Perlman]

Hi,

The eggs are flatened spheres, yellow, about 1.2 millimieters in diameter.
They are normally laid singlely on the points of the leaves, 1 per plant.
They will hatch in 3 to 4 days(!) so you will definitely be able to ID the
larvae (black with the characteristic white saddle patch forming in two
days). Hope I've helped a little!
