With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Jungle Jade Swallowtail sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 151st 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Jungle Jade Swallowtail in Jakarta on a given day, against under 5% in January, April–May and July–September, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Jungle Jade Swallowtail sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Jakarta, in our data
Jakarta is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Jungle Jade Swallowtail sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Papilio
The closest relatives of the Jungle Jade Swallowtail that you can see in Jakarta (genus Papilio, Common Swallowtails) are Lime Swallowtail (about 40%), Great Mormon Swallowtail (about 30%) and Banded Swallowtail (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jungle Jade Swallowtail is recorded against all the insects logged in Jakarta (27 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.
