Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Malayan Lacewing sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 657th 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.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Malayan Lacewing in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months. That is one of Singapore's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against 100 mm in February.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Malayan Lacewing sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Malayan Lacewing sightings, Singapore ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Malayan Lacewing is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (13 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.
