Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Grey Pansy sighting in Chattogram on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 21st most-seen of the 35 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, May and December–January
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Grey Pansy in Chattogram on a given day, against under 5% in February, April, June and August–November, the lowest months. Those are among Chattogram's driest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against 780 mm in July.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grey Pansy sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
23rd of 40
Of the 40 cities where we can rate Grey Pansy sightings, Chattogram ranks 23rd at about 20%. The best odds are in Raipur (India, about 40%), Dhaka (Bangladesh, about 40%) and Jabalpur (India, about 40%).
Same genus: Junonia
The closest relatives of the Grey Pansy that you can see in Chattogram (genus Junonia, Buckeyes & Pansies) are Chocolate Pansy (about 20%), Lemon Pansy (about 20%) and Peacock Pansy (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey Pansy is recorded against all the insects logged in Chattogram (5 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.
