With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Plain Plushblue sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 161 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 169th most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Plain Plushblue in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Plain Plushblue is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (161 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.
