Grey Pansy
Oct 31, 2021
‘It is commonly found all over the low country and in fewer numbers in the hills. It is the dominant Pansy in wet zone home gardens and parks. Females are usually seen in larger numbers near abandoned paddy fields in search of plants to lay eggs.’ [1]
A Quick Observation: If you have the right plants you are sure to have the butterflies visiting your garden regularly — amazingly, even though it is urban. The Grey Pancy that was spotted in our garden was feeding on marigold flowers. Sadly, its wings were damaged. Nevertheless, this beauty was moving about feeding on the flowers. Butterfly wings are so delicate that they can get damaged for reasons like the rain.
