Field Notes

Description:

The Little Pansy or Little Commodore (Junonia sophia) is a butterfly in the Nymphalidae family.

The butterflies tend to form small colonies. Typically a dozen or so can be found flying together in sunny forest glades and similar semi-open habitats, where they bask on grass-heads or flowers with wings fully outspread.

On the female, the white markings are more yellow, and the dark border is narrower.
