Junonia almana
The butterflies are usually seen in two's and three's. They often bask for several minutes at a time on the ground or on low foliage, especially if the weather is cloudy. They are quite nervous, and if approached they flit rapidly into the air and circle around, before settling again, typically well out of reach. Under sunny condition, they have a habit of opening their wings wide to sunbathe while resting on a perch.
Seen in my garden.
