It is almost certainly Vanessa indica. Although unlikely in my opinion, the specimen may be V.vulcania, as paulk suggested (if the specimen is pretty old). Certainly, no a hybrid. Otherwise it exhibits none of the diagnostics characteristics of cardui or atalanta.

Otherwise it exhibits none of the diagnostics characteristics of cardui or atalanta. I must agree when I saw few days ago V.indica it was most likely that species. They are very similar in pattern and differ with paler hw colour. Again the collecting data would help a lot. |
