Peacock Pansy

The peacock pansy butterflies are recognized by their striking eyespots. The fascinating butterflies are native to South Asian countries. The peacock fan's upper side is a yellowish-brown tint with brown borders. On the wings, there are also distinct coastal bands and lovely "peacock eyespots". The eyespots on the lower portion of the wings get larger and more appealing. Seasonal changes affect the patterns on the underside of peacock pansies' wings. In contrast to the dry season, more vivid patterns and eyespots develop on the wings during the wet season. The coastal bars on the edges of the underside of their wings appear dull and less appealing when compared to the upper side.

The peacock pansy's eggs hatch in 3 to 5 days. Caterpillars eat mostly the leaves of their host plant. It also requires an additional 5–6 days for the pupa to mature into a butterfly. The wingspan of an adult peacock pansy ranges from 54 to 62 mm. They favor living in open spaces and gardens in particular.
