With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Parathyma opalina sighting in Kathmandu on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 60th most-seen of the 71 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.
August
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Parathyma opalina in Kathmandu on a given day, against under 5% in September–October and December–June, the lowest months. That is one of Kathmandu's wettest months, with about 240 mm of rain against almost none in November.
Only Kathmandu, in our data
Kathmandu is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Parathyma opalina sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Parathyma opalina that you can see in Kathmandu (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Indian Tortoiseshell (about 40%), Plain Tiger Butterfly (about 40%) and Common Evening Brown (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Parathyma opalina is recorded against all the insects logged in Kathmandu (5 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.
