Asian City Butterflies

Q: Where is the best place to see Asian City Butterflies?

Karachi. In Karachi, Pakistan, the chance of seeing all 4 (plain tiger, common mormon, lime butterfly and great eggfly) on the same day is about 10%, the highest of the 43 places where all of them live, and over a three-day visit it rises to about 40%. Next come Prayagraj (under 5% a day), Raipur (under 5% a day) and Jabalpur (under 5% a day). It multiplies each animal's daily chance, as if they were independent, so read it as a rough guide.

Q: Which of Asian City Butterflies is hardest to see?

Great eggfly. In Karachi, the best place for Asian City Butterflies, about about 30% of wildlife watchers report the great eggfly on a given day, against about 80% for the lime butterfly. The hardest one decides how many days you need.
