The Common Bush Brown, Mycalesis janardana sagittigera (Fruhstorfer)

Common in all localities but has a tendency to keep to the wilder part of open grasslands and verdures fringing forests. Easily identifiable from other Mycalesis by its mottled brown undersides. Flies all year round.

Observe that the submarginal ocelli are fairly uniform compared to the other specis of Mycalesis (key to its identification).
