22-5-2023 SEPILOK, BORNEO - GREY PANSY BUTTERFLY (Junonia atlites)


 The Grey Pansy is the rarest of the four Pansies found in Singapore. Often seen in bright sunlight, gliding over open grassy patches and flowering bushes, the species can be found in localised areas within the nature reserves. It is more often encountered on Pulau Ubin than on mainland Singapore. Where it occurs, usually single specimens are observed.

This species is susceptible to seasonal variation in Malaysia, where they occur in wet- and dry-season forms.
