Wonder Brown - Heteronympha mirifica ( female )

The females look entirely different to the males and it had me confused. The females are also larger and black on top with grey underneath, and each forewing has a white bar and a white spot near the wingtip. There is also a small eyespot on the top of each hindwing. The female butterflies have a wing span of about 6 cms. For many years it was thought the sexes were from different species, not only because of their different wing patterns, but also because the males tend to congregate towards the tops of hills, and the females prefer the moist gullies below.
