With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Knight sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 69th most-seen of the 323 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Knight in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, against under 5% in August and November, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Knight 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 Knight sightings, Kuala Lumpur ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Guwahati (India, about 30%), Chattogram (Bangladesh, about 30%) and Singapore (Singapore, about 20%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Knight 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 Knight is recorded against all the insects logged in Kuala Lumpur (30 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.
