Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Asota plana sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 47 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 391st most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asota plana in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in May–September and November–February, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asota plana sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
6th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Asota plana sightings, Singapore ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Malang (Indonesia, about 30%), Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%) and Jakarta (Indonesia, about 10%).

The closest relatives of the Asota plana that you can see in Singapore (genus Asota) are Tropical Tiger Moth (about 10%) and Asota subsimilis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asota plana is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (47 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.
