Common Fivering (Ypthima baldus)

This butterfly is less common in my farm but occasionally could see it flying around. Its distinguished feature is one big false eye and many small eyes on the under side of each wing. The big eye even reflect sparkling blue dots. The wings have numerous dark wavered lines throughout.

The difference with same species of butterfly in other places is the number of the smaller ocelli which are generally between five and six. But this one has seven small false eyes.
