With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Apalacris varicornis sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 249 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 125th most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Apalacris varicornis in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Apalacris varicornis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Apalacris varicornis sightings, Singapore ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Apalacris varicornis is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (249 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.
