With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amata sperbius sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 84th most-seen of the 245 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amata sperbius in Bangkok on a given day, against under 5% in October to March, the lowest months. Those are among Bangkok's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in December.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Amata sperbius sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Amata sperbius sightings, Bangkok ranks 8th at about 10%. The best odds are in Guwahati (India, about 20%), Nanning (China, about 20%) and Hanoi (Vietnam, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amata sperbius is recorded against all the insects logged in Bangkok (23 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.
