Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Forest Glade Nymph sighting in Abidjan on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 9th most-seen of the 11 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.
June
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Forest Glade Nymph in Abidjan on a given day, against under 5% in March–April and August, the lowest months. That is one of Abidjan's wettest months, with about 260 mm of rain against 25 mm in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Forest Glade Nymph sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Abidjan, in our data
Abidjan is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Forest Glade Nymph sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Forest Glade Nymph that you can see in Abidjan (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Variable Diadem (about 30%), Plain Tiger Butterfly (about 30%) and Little Pansy (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Forest Glade Nymph is recorded against all the insects logged in Abidjan (8 verified sightings), 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.
