Junonia orithya
Junonia orithya – I spotted this butterfly on a beautiful day, its wings glowing in the pleasant weather. The outer wings were a soft light chocolate brown, patterned with fine woven brown lines and a slightly rough texture. Inside, the wings revealed a stunning mix of violet and light blue shades, decorated with brown circles outlined in black. Overall, the Junonia orithya is truly a beautiful butterfly, a perfect blend of subtle earth tones and striking patterns.
"Junonia orithya" is a nymphalid butterfly with many subspecies occurring from Africa, through southern and south-eastern Asia, and in Australia.
