In 3 days ~40% in a week ~70%
Delias hyparete, the painted Jezebel, is a medium-sized butterfly of the family Pieridae, found in South Asia and Southeast Asia. This species closely resembles Delias eucharis but can be distinguished as follows: Male upper forewing has the black margins to the veins more diffuse; the transverse postdiscal band diffuse, ill-defined, oblique, not parallel to termen in its lower portion but terminated at apex of vein 2; the apical portion of the wing beyond the fascia more or less so thickly shaded with black scales as to leave the white lanceolate (lance-shaped) spaces between the veins (so prominent in D. eucharis) ill-defined and obscure. Hindwing white, the black venation and terminal narrow black border as well as the sub-terminal vermilion-red spots between the veins on the underside
show through by transparency. Underside: forewing as in D. eucharis, but the black margins to the veins much broader and the postdiscal transverse fascia as on the upperside oblique but broader. Hindwing differs from that of D. eucharis in the much deeper chrome-yellow tint of the ground colour, the postdiscal black curved band that in D. eucharis separates the yellow from the subterminal...

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Painted Jezebel sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 583 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 45th most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and December–April
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Painted Jezebel in Singapore on a given day, against about 10% in May–September and November, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Painted Jezebel sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 14
Of the 14 cities where we can rate Painted Jezebel sightings, Singapore ranks 7th at about 20%. The best odds are in Phnom Penh (Cambodia, about 40%), Yangon (Myanmar, about 30%) and Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam, about 30%).
Same family: Pieridae
The closest relatives of the Painted Jezebel that you can see in Singapore (family Pieridae, Whites, Yellows, and Sulphurs) are Western Striped Albatross (about 20%), Lemon Migrant (about 10%) and Common Grass Yellow (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Painted Jezebel is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (583 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.
