Cirrochroa tyche rotundata
Butler 1879 - The Common Yeoman
Koh Samui only. Its absence, so far from Koh Pha Ngan is very suprising.
This species is quite variable in the darkness of the black markings.
This is a very common butterfly, primarily of the forests, but can also be seen frequently in secondary vegetation, and even, occasionally, in gardens where it likes to feed on lantana flowers.
