Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Abisara echeria sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 279 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 32nd most-seen of the 1125 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.
December and January
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Abisara echeria in Hong Kong on a given day, against about 10% in February, May–June and August, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 280 mm in June.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Abisara echeria sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Abisara echeria sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 20%).
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Abisara echeria that you can see in Hong Kong (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Pale Grass Blue (about 20%), Plains Cupid (about 20%) and Common Hedge Blue (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Abisara echeria is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (279 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.
