With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Pearl sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 76 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 276th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April, June–July and October–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Pearl in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, May and August–September, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Banded Pearl sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
11th of 17
Of the 17 cities where we can rate Banded Pearl sightings, Singapore ranks 11th at about 10%. The best odds are in Jamshedpur (India, about 30%), Vadodara (India, about 20%) and Harare (Zimbabwe, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Banded Pearl is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (76 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.
