Abisara echerius

Plum Judy butterflies are found in southeast Asia from China to India and the Malay archipelago.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/191386381 There appears to be a prank on Wikipedia as someone reworded the metalmark butterfly family as the "Punches and Judy" family.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abisara_echerius&oldid=1167830837 Apparently Punch and Judy is a British puppet show.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Punch_and_Judy&oldid=1185448017 This alone shows the influence the name Judy has on the butterfly. Here in America I have no such knowledge of it. Upon thinking, Americans might associate the name Judy with Judge Judy, though I have long gotten over that. I just find it to be an older name for women, perhaps a partier back in the day and maybe even now, who no longer rollerskates or does disco. It's a surprising name for a butterfly. The plum is, ironically, from the dark metallic sheen of the male butterflies.https://www.dilmahconservation.org/butterfly-garden/sri-lanka-butterfly/plum-judy--a2a354fb5286ba596d9c540650e64689.html Meaning that none of them are Judies, only...what's the male form of Judy? Jud? That article also says that they are unique in that they don't fully open or close their wings, but I don't know if that's true yet. Someone else also fell for the Judge and Judy prank and I know they did because, despite having pictures of the butterfly, they didn't describe it well at all. They called the butterfly black!https://www.bing.com/search?q=insectic+judy+plum&cvid=b821d6819b9942768f8db0b03403166d&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRhA0gEINjQ0OWowajmoAgCwAgA&FORM=ANAB01&PC=HCTS 
The caterpillars dine on false black pepper and relatives, at least in Sri Lanka.
Their Chinese name is 蛇目褐蜆蝶 (according to this converter it should be shé mù hè xiǎn dié).https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E8%9B%87%E7%9B%AE%E8%A4%90%E8%9C%86%E8%9D%B6&oldid=64796681https://www.chineseconverter.com/en/convert/chinese-to-pinyin I'm not entirely sure of the definition, it could mean something like "Snake Eye Brown-Gray Clam Butterfly".https://www.purpleculture.net/chinese-english-dictionary/?word=%E8%9B%87%E7%9B%AE%E8%A4%90%E8%9C%86%E8%9D%B6 But it also lists "snake eye" together as Ophiae, which sounds like a family name of some kind, but I can't find it in a quick search.https://www.purpleculture.net/chinese-english-dictionary/?word=%E8%9B%87%E7%9B%AE
