About the Rosy Oakblue

Arhopala allata is a butterfly of the family Lycaenidae. It is found in Asia (see subspecies section). A. allata Stgr. is distinguished from anamuta by the much broader black distal margin in both wings of the male and female. The upper surface of the male is deep dark brown with a violet reflection; so dark that the marginal band of 2% mm width only contrasts with the almost black ground-colour in a certain light.Female dark bluish-violet, both wings very broadly margined with black. On the under surface the only essential

difference from anamuta is the much narrower postmedian band of the forewing and the straighter course of it in the hindwing of allata. Wikipedia →

Where does the Rosy Oakblue sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Rosy Oakblue is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (10 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.
