Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Redeye sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 891st 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Redeye in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Banded Redeye sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Banded Redeye is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (6 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.
