Looks like a Battus polydamas Swallowtail. She must have laid a whole cluster of eggs in that spot to have stayed there so long. The larvae are interesting to raise. I have raised Battus philenor (video lifecycle on my channel) Keep up the good work!
In fact, the Swallowtail Butterfly is laying zygotes.

A good video to demonstrate the toughness of the swallowtail butterfly!

The swallowtail butterfly is very strong to live in the world and lay her eggs. Her wings are beating and her life is very tough.
