Sunny, warm weather, preferably without strong wind, is ideal for encountering adult Grey Pansies, as these conditions are most conducive to their flights.
   The adult Grey Pansy can be found near nectar sources such as flowers.
   They are attracted to bright colors and are often seen feeding in sunny, open areas. Watching quietly near nectar-rich flowers can usually yield sightings.
   They are an active pollinator that is attracted to flowers primarily through visual cues like color and shape.
   They are known for feeding on pollen, which results in the transfer of pollen as it moves from flower to flower playing a crucial role in the ecosystem, supporting plant reproduction.
   The vibrant wings of the Gray Pansy flicker in the sunlight as they flutters through the foliage, revealing a striking pattern of eye spots that serve to deter predators.
   At the caterpillar stage, they feed voraciously on plant leaves, later transitioning to a diet of nectar as an adult, contributing to pollination.
   Their life cycle is a compelling display of transformation, from a leaf-munching larva to an exquisite, winged pollinator.
   On the dorsal side, the wings, are pale greyish buff and distinctly marked with dark brown discal and submarginal lines. Post-discal series of eye-spots, some of which are divided into an outer black half and an inner orange half, are found on both forewing and hindwing.
   On the ventral side, the wings are marked as per above but all markings are much paler.
   The Grey Pansy comes in two different forms. These forms are broken up into wet and dry season forms. The outsides of the wings in the dry season form are considerably paler than the wet season form.
   Eggs of the Gray Pansy are commonly found on the underside of host plant leaves, often in sheltered areas to protect them from predators and harsh environmental conditions.
   Once hatched, the caterpillars favor the foliage of the host plants, feeding voraciously while remaining hidden from predators by camouflage or staying on the undersides of leaves.
   Pupae tend to be in secluded locations, such as under leaves or in crevices, where they can undergo metamorphosis with some protection. 
   Adults can be seen during the day, when they are most active, particularly in the late morning and early afternoon.
   Larvae can be found in a variety of conditions but are less likely to be active in cold or overly wet weather.
