The blue pansy Junonia orithya Linnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) is widely distributed along the tropical areas of Africa, Asia and Australia. It is also known as a migrant species in the Levant. Here we record J. orithya in south Israel and provide a DNA-barcode-based evidence for its Asian (non-African) origin.
