Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Jewelled Grass-Blue sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 160th most-seen of the 245 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and September–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Jewelled Grass-Blue in Bangkok on a given day, against under 5% in August and December–June, the lowest months. Those are among Bangkok's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in December.
9th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Jewelled Grass-Blue sightings, Bangkok ranks 9th at under 5%. The best odds are in Hyderabad (India, about 10%), Chennai (India, about 10%) and Pune (India, about 10%).
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Jewelled Grass-Blue that you can see in Bangkok (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Tiny Grass Blue (about 10%), Lesser Grass Blue (about 10%) and Plains Cupid (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jewelled Grass-Blue is recorded against all the insects logged in Bangkok (14 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.
