Butterflies: The Angled Castor and Grey Pansy

It's always good to find butterflies around. Yep! The butterfly is regarded as an easy-to-find insect. Some were easy to catch, some failed me a lot. Like this butterfly, when I came up with a camera, it was flying here and there and making a quick stop on lantana. It took me some time to catch this butterfly as it flew quite a lot. So, I decided to wait till it made a shortstop on the leaf or somewhere visible. This is the angled castor (Ariadne Ariadne), a species of nymphalid butterfly found in Asia. This butterfly is orange-brown with wavy lines running across. The margin is somewhat wavy and appearing truncated at the apex of the forewing.

Grey Pansy (Junonia Atlites)

Another butterfly that held me was grey pansy (Junonia Atlites) that I found somewhere around the woodland. It has upperside of both sexes pale lavender brown, apical half of wings paler with the dark dots on its both wings.

In the dry-season forms of the males the rows of oval ocelli are only indicated by the yellow-centered ovals. The most prominent marking is the inner discal fascia crossing the wings; this is much less sinuous than on the upperside and not angulated on the forewing. Junonia atlites
