Losaria coon, the common clubtail, is a butterfly belonging to the swallowtail family, Papilionidae. The butterfly belongs to the clubtails, genus Losaria. It includes several subspecies and is found from the Nicobar Islands and Assam in India, east to Hainan in China, and south through Indochina, to Java and other islands of Indonesia and Bangladesh.
The butterfly has a wingspan of 100 to 120 millimetres (3.9 to 4.7 in). Both sexes are generally alike, however the females have broader wings and shorter hindwing tails. The butterfly has long and narrow wings and a characteristic spatulate tail, which gives it its name. The forewing is black with pale markings between the veins. Two-thirds of the cell of the hindwing is white with a row of white spots around it. It has crimson or dusky white lunules along the margin and disc.
Detailed description as given in Bingham (1907) is as follows: Male upperside dull black, paler on the fore than on the hind wing. Fore wing with very conspicuous pale streaks, two in each interspace that extend well into the cell, but do not reach the termen, where the dull black ground-colour forms a broadish transverse band. Hind wing black... Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Marked Clubtail sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 69th most-seen of the 239 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.
January
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Marked Clubtail in Jakarta on a given day, against under 5% in April and July, the lowest months. That is one of Jakarta's wettest months, with about 340 mm of rain against 55 mm in August.
Only Jakarta, in our data
Jakarta is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Yellow Marked Clubtail sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Papilionidae
The closest relatives of the Yellow Marked Clubtail that you can see in Jakarta (family Papilionidae, Swallowtails and Parnassians) are Lime Swallowtail (about 40%), Great Mormon Swallowtail (about 30%) and Tailed Jay (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow Marked Clubtail is recorded against all the insects logged in Jakarta (23 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.
