This is a very common butterfly in the open country among the shades where grasses abound as well as in wooded countries. It is different from the Bush Browns by its distinctive clear white stripe against its dark brown wings and the yellow-ringed ocelli (2 on forewings and 3 ond hindwings). They tend to be more active in the earlier part of the morning on open grassy areas and retreat into the shades when the day warms up.
