With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asterope boisduvali sighting in Durban on a given day, based on 97 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 18th most-seen of the 401 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Asterope boisduvali in Durban on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–December, the lowest months. That is one of Durban's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 210 mm in January.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asterope boisduvali sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Durban, in our data
Durban is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Asterope boisduvali sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Asterope boisduvali that you can see in Durban (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Spotted Brown Pansy (about 30%), Dark Blue Pansy (about 20%) and Common Mother-Of-Pearl (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asterope boisduvali is recorded against all the insects logged in Durban (97 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.
