Interestingly I found resting on the grass .... perhaps because at that time the rain stopped and was waiting for an opportune time to leave ... Do I believe that is?
I am not sure if you can separate the two species from this shot. These species is under constant discussion by the experts. According to Andrew Neild, probably one of the the most accepted experts of this species you usually need to see the underside of the antennae. I still suggest that you take Junonia sp. with mentioning the 2 possible candidates in the description section.
