With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asota plana sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 116th most-seen of the 239 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Asota plana in Jakarta on a given day, against under 5% in March and November–January, the lowest months. That is one of Jakarta's wettest months, with about 370 mm of rain against 55 mm in August.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asota plana sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
3rd of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Asota plana sightings, Jakarta ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Malang (Indonesia, about 30%) and Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%).
Same genus: Asota
The closest relatives of the Asota plana that you can see in Jakarta (genus Asota) are Asota heliconia (about 10%) and Tropical Tiger Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asota plana is recorded against all the insects logged in Jakarta (11 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.
