Design is my guess. For instance Torben Larsen described 2 African genera,
Mallika and Kamilla, which were morphologically similar to our Kallima.

I love words! Is it coincidence or design that
P. demolion is an anagram of P. liomedon?
Are their markings also similar?

Papilio liomedon also lays clutches in stacks. T. R. Bell observed
and described this over a century ago and i think susanth has good pictures.P.
liomedon is related toP. demolion, so that's no particular
surprise. i wonder howP. gigon lays eggs, that also seems to be very
closely related toP. demolion-liomedon.
i will check whether Bell describes the stacked eggs ofC. thais, he
probably does because he observed its life-cycle closely.

Has anybody documented the Tamil Yeoman's (Cirrochroa thais) apparently
remarkable juvenile biology? If not, this important information needs to be
recorded and then published. Attached are Internet photos of other
butterflies having this very rare behavior of laying eggs in long "stacks".

Thank you Baby for the wonderful shots!
I have seen yeomon laying eggs last november in nilambur and photographed
atleast five different stacks of eggs one of them had a live very small insect
moving around(see one of the pics) possibly feeding on it(?) and one stack was
fallen and had a different colour and I collected two of them carefully,tried
my levelbest to preserve them but none of the eggs hatched!
