With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Purple Duke sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 315 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 105th most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Purple Duke in Singapore on a given day, against about 10% in May to March, the lowest months.

Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Purple Duke that you can see in Singapore (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Brown Pansy (about 40%), Plain Tiger Butterfly (about 30%) and Tawny Coster (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Purple Duke is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (315 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.
