In 3 days ~20% in a week ~30%
Cirrochroa malaya is an Indomalayan species of heliconiine butterfly described by Cajetan and Rudolf Felder in 1860. C. emalea and C. malaya have much in common, as regards the general design, the distribution of the black spots in the median area of the hindwings and the submarginal spots in the apical portion of the
forewings beneath. On the other hand malaya differs essentially in the absence of the yellow patch before the apex and more still in the complete want of black scales upon the veins on the upper surface of the forewings. On the under surface of the forewing the discal band increases but slightly as it approaches the costa, while on the hindwing the median band remains unchanged from costa to the anal angle showing no contraction whatsoever. Also the sexual organs are different. Uncus weak, pointed, not curved distally. Valve smaller and shorter, with dorsally incurved appendage. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cirrochroa malaya sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 161st most-seen of the 323 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May, July, September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cirrochroa malaya in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, against under 5% in June, August, October and December–March, the lowest months.
Only Kuala Lumpur, in our data
Kuala Lumpur is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cirrochroa malaya sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Cirrochroa
The closest relatives of the Cirrochroa malaya that you can see in Kuala Lumpur (genus Cirrochroa) are Banded Yeoman (about 10%) and Common Yeoman (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cirrochroa malaya is recorded against all the insects logged in Kuala Lumpur (10 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.
