Drapetodes magnifica is a species of moth in the family Drepanidae. It was first described by Charles Swinhoe in 1902. It is found on Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Java and Borneo. Adults are ochreous brown, both wings banded and marked with pale ochreous, in the forewings there is a streak near the base and
another at the apex as if portions of one band. There is also a broad band from the hindmargin a little beyond the middle, to the outer margin above the middle. On the hindwings there is a subbasal band from the abdominal margin, short, and with a white band on its inner edge, and a broad discal band which below the apex, and at the anal angle touches the outer margin. All these bands are longitudinally streaked with bright orange lunular lines close together. There is also a brown spot at the end of each cell, as well as a dark brown marginal line. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Drapetodes magnifica 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 Drapetodes magnifica 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 Drapetodes magnifica sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Drapetodes magnifica that you can see in Singapore (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Brown Pansy (about 40%), Hübner's Wasp Moth (about 30%) and Common Mormon Swallowtail (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Drapetodes magnifica 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.
