Junonia almana, the peacock pansy, is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in Cambodia and South Asia. It exists in two distinct adult forms, which differ chiefly in the patterns on the underside of the wings; the dry-season form has few markings, while the wet-season form has additional eyespots and lines. It is listed as Least Concern in the IUCN Red List.
The adult butterfly has a wingspan of 54–62 mm (2.1–2.4 in), and exhibits seasonal polyphenism. "Upperside rich orange-yellow. Fore wing with a pale dusky and a much darker short transverse bar with lateral jet-black marginal lines across cell, another somewhat similar bar defining the discocellulars; costal margin, an inner and an outer subterminal line, and a terminal line dusky black; a large minutely white-centred ocellus with an inner slender and outer black ring on disc in interspace 2; two similar but smaller geminate subapical ocelli with an obscure pale spot above them and a short oblique bar connecting them to the black on the costa.

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Peacock Pansy sighting in Keoladeo National Park on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 5th most-seen of the 23 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Peacock Pansy in Keoladeo National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, the lowest month. That is one of Keoladeo National Park's wettest months, with about 110 mm of rain against 5 mm in November. June has too few records to rate.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Peacock 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.
Yes
Of the 10 parks where we can rate Peacock Pansy sightings, Keoladeo National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Royal Bardia National Park (Nepal, about 30%) and Chitwan National Park (Nepal, about 30%).
Same genus: Junonia
The closest relatives of the Peacock Pansy that you can see in Keoladeo National Park (genus Junonia, Buckeyes & Pansies) are Grey Pansy (about 30%) and Lemon Pansy (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Peacock Pansy is recorded against all the insects logged in Keoladeo National Park (30 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
