Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Papilio tereas sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 48 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 37th most-seen of the 239 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.
February and June
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Papilio tereas in Jakarta on a given day, against about 10% in March, May, July–September and November–December, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Papilio tereas 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 4 cities where we can rate Papilio tereas sightings, Jakarta ranks 3rd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Denpasar (Indonesia, about 20%) and Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 20%).
Same genus: Papilio
The closest relatives of the Papilio tereas 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 Papilio tereas is recorded against all the insects logged in Jakarta (48 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.
