With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scarlet Adjutant sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 117 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 229th 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.
March to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scarlet Adjutant in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in November to February, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Scarlet Adjutant sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
11th of 13
Of the 13 cities where we can rate Scarlet Adjutant sightings, Singapore ranks 11th at about 10%. The best odds are in Thiruvananthapuram (India, about 30%), Thrissur (India, about 20%) and Kochi (India, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scarlet Adjutant is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (117 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.
