Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Restless Demon sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 69 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 382nd 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.
March–April, July, October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Restless Demon in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, May–June, August–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 Restless Demon sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Restless Demon is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (69 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.
