The plain tiger start its life from an egg (ova). The bullet-shaped eggs are laid on the underside of milkweed leaves. The plain tiger lays individual eggs (not in cluster) . The number of eggs varies from 1 to 3 or 4 eggs per leaf. The period required for the eggs to hatch is about 4-5 days. Here are pictures of plain tiger butterfly egg laid on Calotropis procera leaf.
