Similar to the other ladies except more pink, especially below on the
lower half of the forewing. The
hindwing has blue spots which are prominent on the upper side and very large
below, where they have black and yellow rings around them. It is generally light brown below with
white bands and network. It is also
known as the Hunter=s Butterfly.
It is most common in the East.
