The genus Mycalesis is a group of butterflies belonging to the Nymphalidae family. These butterflies are known as "bush browns" and are widespread in Southeast Asia and Australia. The characteristic characteristic of the species in this genus is that the wing color tends to be brown or yellowish. with a small eye pattern that often looks like a bird's eye, which functions as a defense mechanism against predators.

species in the Genus Mycalesis are easy to find in forest and bush habitats, these butterflies also have a habit of flying low and often hide among the leaves, and this is also what makes these butterflies found and observed, I found them among the weeds and was reproducing with butterfly partners, and this was an amazing discovery on my journey in the forest.
