We demonstrate that pearling droplets will be released from droplets as they sliding down a partially wetting glass plate excited by Lamb waves. During the movement, we find that the transitions at generating pearling are independent of the drop size and depend only on a critical capillary number Ca. Further up, the position of the pearls must be at or around the droplet's advancing or receding end of the initial state.
