Spotted small flat is similar in appearance to the Common Small Flat. The arrangement of semi transparent spots on its forewing is different which is the most definitive feature to separate these two species. The under side is marked with small white spots.

Spotted small flat flies extremely in high speed. Its flight is somewhat erratic and jerky.

Host Plants

Acanthaceous herbs and small shrubs

The butterfly is considered to be an ENDEMIC Species
