With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Clipper sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 125th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–August, October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Clipper in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, September and November, the lowest months.
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.
5th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Clipper sightings, Kuala Lumpur ranks 5th at about 10%. The best odds are in Hanoi (Vietnam, about 20%), Kozhikode (India, about 20%) and Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam, about 20%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Clipper that you can see in Kuala Lumpur (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Tawny Coster (about 30%), Peacock Pansy (about 30%) and Brown Pansy (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 Kuala Lumpur (13 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.
