Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Comostola laesaria sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 708th 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 Comostola laesaria in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Comostola laesaria sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Comostola laesaria sightings, Singapore ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Brisbane (Australia, about 10%), Kochi (India, about 10%) and Sydney (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Comostola laesaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (11 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.
