With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Sapphire Flutterer sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 238 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 130th 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.
December to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Sapphire Flutterer in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in November, the lowest month.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asian Sapphire Flutterer 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 4 cities where we can rate Asian Sapphire Flutterer sightings, Singapore ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Johor Bahru (Malaysia, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Sapphire Flutterer is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (238 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.
