With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a White Imperial sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 178th 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.
March–May, August–September and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White Imperial in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, June–July and October, the lowest months.
Only Kuala Lumpur, in our data
Kuala Lumpur is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White Imperial sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Lycaenidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White Imperial is recorded against all the insects logged in Kuala Lumpur (9 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.
