Field Notes

Description:

The Yellow Pansy (Junonia hierta) is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in the Palaeotropics. It is usually seen in open scrub and grassland habitats.

Notes:

This was a very common butterfly in the Park. They had a habit of landing on the ground a few meters in front of you, then flying off just before one could focus to take a picture!
