Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Three-Spotted Grass Yellow sighting in Guwahati on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 50th most-seen of the 77 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and September
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Three-Spotted Grass Yellow in Guwahati on a given day, against under 5% in June, August and October–April, the lowest months. Those are among Guwahati's wettest months, with about 300 mm of rain a month against 5 mm in January.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Three-Spotted Grass Yellow is recorded against all the insects logged in Guwahati (6 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
