Hind-wing with a distinctly defined black slender complete band; and a salmon-coloured patch of matted scales between the costal and sub-costal vein. Underside paler yellow, unmarked, except that a very faint indication of marginal dots and a small upper discocellular streak on both wings, and a dot above the cell and discal transverse streaks on hind-wing. Fore-wing with a sub-basal oval patch of compactly matted salmon-coloured scales, which extend below and partly above the basal portion of the median vein. Female. Upper-side paler yellow.

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Spotless Grass Yellow sighting in Nashik on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 29th most-seen of the 42 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.
June
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Spotless Grass Yellow in Nashik on a given day, against under 5% in July–August and November–March, the lowest months. That is one of Nashik's wettest months, with about 320 mm of rain against almost none in January.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spotless Grass Yellow sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Spotless Grass Yellow sightings, Nashik ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Jabalpur (India, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spotless Grass Yellow is recorded against all the insects logged in Nashik (16 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.
