Upper side, ground colour rich ferruginous-red, the basal area slightly tinged with olivescent yellowish-ferruginous. Cilia alternately black and white. Forewing with three black slender bars crossing the cell, and three similar bars below the cell between the basal interspaces of the middle and lower medians; beyond the cell is a large outwardly-oblique pure bluish-white more or less triangulate spot followed by a transverse discal macular band, broadest in the dry-season brood, composed of a series of large broad pure bluish-white spots proceeding from the costa to the posterior margin, of which the upper five are subapical and disposed obliquely outward, the third and fourth being ovate, the upper two very slender and divided by the second subcostal branch, the fifth much the smallest; the next four are disposed somewhat obliquely inward and are much larger, the sixth (or upper) triangularly ovate, the seventh longest and bluntly ovate or somewhat quadrate, the eighth quadrate with its outer edge indented, and...

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Sullied Sailer sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 185 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 71st most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September to November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Sullied Sailer in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in January, the lowest month.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Sullied Sailer sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Southern Sullied Sailer sightings, Hong Kong has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Dhaka (Bangladesh, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Sullied Sailer is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (185 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.
