Cirrochroa emalea
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Cirrochroa emalea, the Malay yeoman, is an Indomalayan species of heliconiine butterfly described by Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville in 1843. Very similar to Cirrochroa tyche but more rusty orange, a distinct constricted silvery band on the underside hindwing with a larger spot, and broader black markings, while tyche is tawny orange with a narrower, more uniform silvery band and smaller hindwing spots. Identication requires close examination of subjective? detail. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Malay Yeoman sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 57 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 344th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Malay Yeoman in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in July to February, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Malay Yeoman sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Malay Yeoman sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Malay Yeoman is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (57 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.
