With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pale Mottle sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 70 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 291st 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.
June, October and December–April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pale Mottle in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in May, July–September and November, the lowest months.
Only Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pale Mottle sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Pale Mottle that you can see in Singapore (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Branded Imperial (about 20%), Lesser Grass Blue (about 20%) and Tiny Grass Blue (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale Mottle is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (70 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.
