Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Clipper sighting in Kozhikode on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 45th most-seen of the 138 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Clipper in Kozhikode on a given day, against under 5% in April–May and November–January, the lowest months. Those are among Kozhikode's wettest months, with about 380 mm of rain a month against 5 mm in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Clipper sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Clipper sightings, Kozhikode ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hanoi (Vietnam, about 20%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Clipper that you can see in Kozhikode (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Chocolate Pansy (about 40%), Tailed Palmfly (about 40%) and Common Crow (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Clipper is recorded against all the insects logged in Kozhikode (15 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.
