Junonia andremiaja (Pansy butterfly)

Synonyms: Precis andremiaja; Precis boisduvali; Precis galami (heterotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

Precis andremiaja is a butterfly in the Nymphalidae family. It is found on Madagascar. The habitat consists of forest margins and anthropogenic environments. J. andremiaja is said by Mr. Cowan to be "common in houses on warm days". The word "andremiaja" seems to be etymologically a malagasy word. The root -miaja means to honor, to respect while andre-sequence, unknown in malagasy, can be a strain of Andria- which would give malagasy Andriamiaja, a fairly common surname.
