Long-brand Bushbrown Butterfly - Mycalesis Visala - Animal India
Mycalesis visala, the Long-brand Bushbrown, is a species of satyrine butterfly found in South Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, and Peninsular Malaysia. It may include the Tamil Bushbrown as a subspecies. On the upperside, the wings are dull brown with an obscure yellow-ringed ocellus in space 2 of the forewing, and two obscure ocelli in spaces 2 and 3 of the hindwing. On the underside, both wings are pale brown in ground color and have a whitish post-discal band. There is a series of ringed ocelli in the submarginal area on both wings. When light falls on a Long-brand Bushbrown butterfly (Mycalesis visala) from behind, the light comes out through a small eye-like spot ocellus hole in the butterfly's wing in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 6, 2024.
