    One way is to use bleach to sterilize eggs. Butterfly eggs may be contaminated with disease particles when the female butterfly lays the egg. The first thing a caterpillar usually eats is its egg shell. Since they may become diseased upon eating their egg shell, sterilization is a good precaution for those who raise butterflies either for fun or profit.
