Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Forest Hopper sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 788th 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 Forest Hopper in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Forest Hopper sightings, Singapore ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Dhaka (Bangladesh, about 10%), Hong Kong (China, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
Same family: Hesperiidae
The closest relatives of the Forest Hopper that you can see in Singapore (family Hesperiidae, Skippers) are Chestnut Bob (about 20%), Yellow Vein Lancer (about 20%) and Indian Palm Bob (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Forest Hopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (9 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.
