Junonia orithya is a nymphalid butterfly with many subspecies occurring from Africa through southern and south-eastern Asia and Cambodia. In south Africa it is known as the eyes pansy as the name blue pansy refers to Junonia onone. The butterfly has electric blue on the upper wing and an earthy brown on the under. The males and the females look similar through the male is slightly more vibrant. As a behavioral trait I have observed that the males are extremely territorial, trying to wade off other males from their territory. Their main diet includes various flow nectar. Blue Pancy has been declared as a butterfly of Jammu & Kashmir.  The Blue Pansy (Junonia orithya) is a beautiful and eye-catching butterfly known for its striking blue and black coloration, particularly on the males. It is found across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and parts of Australia, inhabiting open, sunny areas such as gardens, grasslands, and roadsides.

The Blue Pansy is an active butterfly, often seen flying close to the ground or basking in the sun with its wings open. It has a swift, erratic flight and is known to be territorial.
