The distinctive yellow colour of the undersides of the females of this Rapala makes it quite distinct when it makes its appearance. Like its other cousins in the Rapala genus, it is a rapid flyer, and darts around bushes at high speeds. It is usually seen in the vicinity of flowering trees.
The males are brownish red above, with a broad black forewing border, and appears purple-shot in a side light. Butterfly Circle
