Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Polyrhachis rufipes sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 273rd 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.
May, July and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Polyrhachis rufipes in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, against under 5% in June, August and November–April, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Polyrhachis rufipes sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kuala Lumpur, in our data
Kuala Lumpur is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Polyrhachis rufipes sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Polyrhachis

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Polyrhachis rufipes is recorded against all the insects logged in Kuala Lumpur (5 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.
