Field Notes

Description:

Looks a lot like a faded Peacock Pansy (Junonia almana) but for the fact it looks bleached in contrast; also the upper eyespot is smaller in J. almana. The eyespots on this one are almost equal.

Habitat:

Forest area.

Notes:

I saw J. almana and J. orithya alongside this one.
