Also, its upperside pattern is different from One spot, Common and Three spot GY.
I don't think we have any One spot here. I live in a town after all.
I haven't either. But I think it's more similar to Spotless GY rather than other GYs. This is the pic I found on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurema_bri...
Ok, pls post a pic of a one spot, if you have. Then what abt the small grass yellow?, haven't seen any of them yet.
Done. Sadly, all of my previous records that I assumed to be of One spot are Common GY.
But keep an eye out for One spot. It has been recorded from your area.
Ah its Ok, yeah One spot is quite rare among the yellows. Please have another look into that spotting.
Sahana, there are some changes that should be made to your previous Grass Yellow spottings. The ones we assumed to be One spot might turn out to be variations of Common grass yellow. One spot has a rounder forewing than your spotted ones. Sorry if any confusion might be caused. I'll look into them and let you know what should be changed. I wasn't very sure back then about the IDs because I couldn't find a sure photograph of E. ormistoni on the internet. But I bought a butterfly guide recently (might be the best in SL) and there are correct photographs of E. ormistoni there. The forewing is more round than E. hecabe's when compared closely. And it's stated there that E. hecabe sometimes have 1 or no spots infrequently. Sorry again for the might-be-incorrect IDs.
