Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Comma sighting in Nanchang on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 20th most-seen of the 26 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Comma in Nanchang on a given day, against under 5% in February–May, August and November–December, the lowest months. That is one of Nanchang's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 320 mm in June.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asian Comma sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
17th of 28
Of the 28 cities where we can rate Asian Comma sightings, Nanchang ranks 17th at about 20%. The best odds are in Changsha (China, about 30%), Gwangju (South Korea, about 30%) and Changzhou (China, about 30%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Asian Comma that you can see in Nanchang (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Common Mormon Swallowtail (about 40%), Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth (about 30%) and Common Bluebottle (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Comma is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanchang (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.
