With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Five-Dot Sergeant sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 102nd 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May, July–October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Five-Dot Sergeant in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in January–April, June and November, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Five-Dot Sergeant sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Five-Dot Sergeant sightings, Shanghai ranks 6th at about 10%. The best odds are in Changzhou (China, about 30%), Tuen Mun (China, about 20%) and Hong Kong (China, about 10%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Five-Dot Sergeant 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 Five-Dot Sergeant is recorded against all the insects logged in Shanghai (13 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.
