Grey Pansy and Chocolate Pansy

The Grey Pansy, Junonia atlites atlites. At MacRitchie Reservoir. Possibly the rarest of the pansies in Singapore, and, maybe, the most exquisitely coloured and patterned one. Typical flitting flight of pansies.

The Chocolate Pansy, Junonia hedonia ida. The commonest of the pansies. A few individuals can often be found in sunny clearings chasing each other and basking. Loves bright sunlight, often rests with wings outspread.
