Phalanta phalantha
Spotted here is a female butterfly. The upper side of the wings are orange in colour and the pattern of spots are dark brown.
Spotted near one of its local larval food plants, Flacourtia jangomas. It was freely flying around and resting on the leaves of Flacourtia jangomas while eventually laying eggs.
