Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Drury's Jewel 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 Drury's Jewel in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Drury's Jewel sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Drury's Jewel sightings, Singapore ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%), Hong Kong (China, about 10%) and Guangzhou (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Drury's Jewel 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.
