Butterflies in the genus Mycalesis, the Bush Browns, are common in the warm regions from Central Asia to Australia.
Predominantly brown in colour, all the species of the Bush Browns have submarginal ocelli (eyespots) on the underside of both the fore and hindwings.
Their flight is generally weak but they are alert and skittish, and are often quite challenging to photograph. 
The Bush Browns typically rest with their wings folded upright.
They are notably polymorphic, with wet- and dry-season forms differing in many species, especially as regards size and number of underwing eyespots.
While the ocelli in the wet-season forms are usually well defined and clearly visible, the ocelli in the dry-season forms are usually faded and small.

The Lesser Bush Brown (Mycalesis janardana) is widespread in South East Asia and has several subspecies.
This is a generally common and sometimes abundant butterfly.
This is the subspecies Mycalesis janardana janardana.
