With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Faun sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 310 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 97th most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Faun in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Faun sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Common Faun sightings, Singapore ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Jakarta (Indonesia, about 10%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Common Faun that you can see in Singapore (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Brown Pansy (about 40%), Plain Tiger Butterfly (about 30%) and Tawny Coster (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Faun is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (310 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.
