With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Spotted Labyrinth sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 122nd most-seen of the 215 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.
May and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Spotted Labyrinth in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and October–April, the lowest months.
Between 5 and 8 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-Spotted Labyrinth sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Black-Spotted Labyrinth sightings, Shanghai ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%) and Nanjing (China, about 10%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Black-Spotted Labyrinth that you can see in Shanghai (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Tropical Fritillary (about 30%), Asian Comma (about 20%) and Lesser Purple Emperor (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-Spotted Labyrinth is recorded against all the insects logged in Shanghai (11 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.
