On a winter morning, a Peacock Pansy butterfly (Junonia almana) sits on a newspaper, basking in the sun in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on January 7, 2026. Peacock Pansy butterflies are territorial, basking, nectar-feeding insects that are vital pollinators found in open areas in Cambodia and South Asia. They are known for their strong, gliding flight and distinctive eyespots, which they use to startle predators. The butterfly relies on external heat sources to function, especially during the colder months when its metabolic activity is low. They exhibit seasonal polyphenism, with bright orange wings in the wet season and dull brown wings in the dry season for camouflage, along with aggressive behaviors like chasing intruders.
