Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Saptha pretiosa sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 147th 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.
November and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Saptha pretiosa in Bangkok on a given day, against under 5% in January to October, the lowest months. Those are among Bangkok's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain a month against 280 mm in September.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Saptha pretiosa sightings, Bangkok ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Singapore (Singapore, about 10%) and Kaohsiung (Taiwan, about 10%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Saptha pretiosa that you can see in Bangkok (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Plain Tiger Butterfly (about 20%), Painted Jezebel (about 20%) and Lime Swallowtail (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Saptha pretiosa is recorded against all the insects logged in Bangkok (10 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.
