Symbrenthia lilaea, the peninsular jester, is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in South and Southeast Asia. It forms a superspecies with S, hippoclus. Numerous regional forms are part of a poorly resolved taxonomy.
Wet-season form, male. The upperside is black, with orange-yellow markings. The forewing has a clavate discoidal streak. It is bi-indentate above with a contiguous spot at the base of interspace 3. A short, outwardly oblique band runs from the middle of the dorsum, contracted in the middle; another outwardly oblique, somewhat macular, short, broad, preapical band goes from beyond the middle of costa to interspace 4, with two small spots above it in interspaces 5 and 6.
The hindwing has a broad sub-basal transverse band narrow at the costal margin and a postdiscal narrower similar band contracted into a line towards costal margin, sometimes traversed by a line of black spots and a subterminal very slender line.
The forewing underside is ochraceous orange with numerous spots and ferruginous lines. A short, outwardly oblique streak does not extend beyond interspaced. The hindwing has a sub-basal transverse streak in continual ion of the above streak... Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Jester sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 182 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 153rd 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Jester in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in August and September, the lowest months.
Only Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Common Jester sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Common Jester 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 Jester is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (182 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.
