Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Fashion Commodore sighting in Accra on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 6th most-seen of the 30 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Fashion Commodore in Accra on a given day, against under 5% in March–April, June and August, the lowest months. That is one of Accra's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 200 mm in June.
Only Accra, in our data
Accra is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Fashion Commodore sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Fashion Commodore that you can see in Accra (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Danaid Eggfly (about 50%), Plain Tiger Butterfly (about 40%) and Variable Diadem (about 40%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fashion Commodore is recorded against all the insects logged in Accra (11 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.
