Field Notes

Description:

medium sized black and white butterfly, with two spots along the edge of the forewing (not sure with the hind one though).
---
I think I've got it down to two species, but I was having a rough time pointing out which one (either Ideopsis vulgaris, or Ideopsis juventa).

Habitat:

Found this feeding on a Tridax procumbens in a park (just outside my University's campus); though it is also common inside the campus as well.
