The black-centered spots in the ovals in interspaces 2, 5, and 6 margined posteriorly with rich ocherous yellow. Beyond this series of ovals is a lunular, narrow, transverse dark band, followed by sinuous subterminal and terminal broad dark lines. Apex of wing slightly fuliginous.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Grey Pansy sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 84th most-seen of the 245 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and November–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Grey Pansy in Bangkok on a given day, against under 5% in February and April–October, the lowest months. Those are among Bangkok's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 280 mm in September.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grey Pansy sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
37th of 40
Of the 40 cities where we can rate Grey Pansy sightings, Bangkok ranks 37th at about 10%. The best odds are in Raipur (India, about 40%), Dhaka (Bangladesh, about 40%) and Jabalpur (India, about 40%).
Same genus: Junonia
The closest relatives of the Grey Pansy that you can see in Bangkok (genus Junonia, Buckeyes & Pansies) are Lemon Pansy (about 10%) and Peacock Pansy (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey Pansy is recorded against all the insects logged in Bangkok (23 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
