thanks Agnes. I'll go with One-spot. I find it quite difficult to distinguish between these Yellows...

Hi pamsai.. Common Grass Yellow would have 2 cell spots - http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/58-eurema/eurema-hecabe; http://butterflycircle.blogspot.com/2009/04/grass-yellows-of-singapore-part-1.html.

Could also be Eurema hecabe (Common Grass Yellow)?

thanks Victoria, but i don't think the Little Yellow is found in India... It may have another name here, though.

thanks Agnes. Yes it looks like the one-spot. I'll enter that and see if anyone seconds it...

Could be Eurema andersonii (One-spot Grass Yellow), as I am seeing one spot only at the cell of the forewing underside, but I could be wrong. Here's a link for sample Eurema spp in India - http://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/58-eurema-dp3. Regards.
