The male has on the upperside of the forewing, three minute semi-transparent spots obliquely before the apex; a transverse discal series of streaks, a small patch within the cell, one near the base of the wing, and exterior margin blackish; hindwing with the lower third pure white which is straightly separated from the brown of the basal portion; apical margin and three spots on the upper part of the disc, black, and two spots on the middle of the white anterior margin. Underside paler brown, semi-transparent spots on forewing as above: hindwing white suffused with brown along the anterior margin: upper discal and marginal spots as above black. Female paler.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Suffused Snow Flat sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 290 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 106th most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Suffused Snow Flat in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Suffused Snow Flat sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Suffused Snow Flat sightings, Singapore has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Kochi (India, about 10%).
Same genus: Tagiades
The closest relatives of the Suffused Snow Flat that you can see in Singapore (genus Tagiades, Snow Flats) are Pied Flat (about 10%) and Water Snow Flat (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Suffused Snow Flat is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (290 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.
