Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Sapphire Flutterer sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 245th most-seen of the 323 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–May and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Sapphire Flutterer in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, against under 5% in June–September and November–January, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asian Sapphire Flutterer sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Asian Sapphire Flutterer sightings, Kuala Lumpur ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Johor Bahru (Malaysia, about 10%), Singapore (Singapore, about 10%) and Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Sapphire Flutterer is recorded against all the insects logged in Kuala Lumpur (6 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.
