In 3 days ~60% in a week ~90%
Pareronia hippia, the common wanderer or Indian wanderer, is a medium-sized butterfly of the family Pieridae, that is, the yellows and whites. It is found in India. Some authors consider this as a subspecies of Pareronia valeria.
Male upperside: ground colour a clear pale blue of a much deeper tint than in P. avatar, Moore. All the veins defined with black. Forewing: costa broadly, apex and terminal margin very broadly black, this black on the termen narrowed towards the tornus, and traversed by a transverse subterminal series of bluish-white spots that are variable in number; the spot in interspace 3 shifted inwards; sometimes the posterior two spots of the series are all but joined onto the streaks of the ground colour between the veins. Hindwing: dorsal and costal margins broadly whitish: terminal margin broadly black, especially at apex, the black area covered, except at the tornus, with specialised opaque-looking scales. Underside: paler blue, the terminal margins of the wings obscurely fuscous, traversed by a subterminal, very indistinct, transverse series of whitish lunulated spots. Forewing: the veins more or less broadly bordered with black, this edging broadened... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Common Wanderer sighting in Cat Tien National Park on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 15th most-seen of the 125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Common Wanderer in Cat Tien National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April, August and December–January, the lowest months. That is one of Cat Tien National Park's wettest months, with about 490 mm of rain against 15 mm in February.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Wanderer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Common Wanderer sightings, Cat Tien National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Kaeng Krachan National Park (Thailand, about 10%).
Same family: Pieridae
The closest relatives of the Common Wanderer that you can see in Cat Tien National Park (family Pieridae, Whites, Yellows, and Sulphurs) are Yellow Orange Tip (about 40%), Orange Gull (about 30%) and Psyche (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Wanderer is recorded against all the insects logged in Cat Tien National Park (28 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
