Common Grass Yellow
Eurema hecabe
A small yellow butterfly of gardens, grasslands, roadsides, and open scrub across much of Asia and Australasia. Adults fly low and actively in sunshine, visiting small flowers for nectar and often settling with wings closed to show a leaflike underside. Its caterpillars feed mainly on legumes such as Senna, Cassia, and related plants. A notable feature is its variable seasonal appearance, with wetter-season and drier-season forms differing in underside markings.
