Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Purple Bushbrown sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 556th 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Purple Bushbrown in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Purple Bushbrown sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Purple Bushbrown sightings, Singapore ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia, about 10%).
Same genus: Mycalesis
The closest relatives of the Purple Bushbrown that you can see in Singapore (genus Mycalesis, Bushbrowns) are Burmese Bushbrown (about 20%), Dark-Branded Bushbrown (about 10%) and Long Brand Bushbrown (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Purple Bushbrown is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (26 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.
