Junonia orithya
Hind wing blue shaded with velvety black towards base; a postdiscal black white-centred orange and black-ringed ocellus on the outerspace of both wings. A very delicate but pretty butterfly.
The adults occur in open areas, often sitting on bare ground. This species has a stiff flap and glide style of flight and maintains a territory, driving away other butterflies that enter it.
