About the Banded Yeoman

Cirrochroa orissa, the  banded yeoman, is an Indomalayan species of heliconiine butterfly described by Cajetan and Rudolf Felder in 1860. Hindwings along the subcostal nervules with yellow sexual strigae, which in the basal half accompany also the submedian and lower median, being quite conspicuous upon the red-brown ground-colour.On the forewing 2 or 3 radial stripes encroach upon the black colour of the apical portion. On the under surface the predominating colour is yellow, the distal half of the hindwings reddish-brown. The fore wings are traversed by a broad cream-coloured diagonal band; hindwings similar so those of Cirrochroa satellita, but with a more sharply defined longitudinal band having an intense lustre of mother-of-pearl.

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Banded Yeoman is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (5 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.
