Krushnamegh is right.I have gud pictures of *P.liomedon* egg stack.I took pictures of *P.liomedon*(Malabar Banded Swallowtail) egg stack during the year 1996 in connection with my life cycle study of this endemic butterfly to Western Ghats.I observed 16 eggs in one egg stack and 20 in other stack.Here i attached the pictures of egg stack(11 eggs) of *P.liomedon *and adult butterfly.Fore more details about this study please refer my paper "Biology of Malabar Banded Swallowtail *Papilio liomedon* Moore" ( JBNHS, Vol.102(1),Jan-Apr 2005) with warm regards Susanth On 8/30/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > *Papilio liomedon* also lays clutches in stacks.
