Peacock Pansy
This beautiful butterfly rich in colours with a wingspan of about 60mm flies up to 2000m on hills but it is more comfortable in plains.The upper wings with tawny orange colour have prominent eye spots on both wings. The Eyespot on the Hindwings is very large wheras the Forewings have two smaller Eyespots. The hind wing looks like a dry leaf in its Dry Season form(DSF). The dry leaf like appearance of the UnderWings gives a very good camouflaging effect.
