Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Comma sighting in Changsha on a given day, based on 58 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the most-seen of the 56 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Comma in Changsha on a given day, against about 10% in May, the lowest month. That is one of Changsha's driest months, with about 70 mm of rain against 240 mm in June.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asian Comma sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes
Of the 28 cities where we can rate Asian Comma sightings, Changsha has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Gwangju (South Korea, about 30%) and Changzhou (China, about 30%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Asian Comma that you can see in Changsha (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Tropical Fritillary (about 20%), Peacock Pansy (about 10%) and Indian Red Admiral (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Comma is recorded against all the insects logged in Changsha (58 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.
