Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Scopula caesaria sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 203rd 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
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scopula caesaria in Bangkok on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Bangkok's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain against 10 mm in December.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Scopula caesaria sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Bangkok, in our data
Bangkok is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Scopula caesaria sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scopula caesaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Bangkok (6 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.
