Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Scarlet Flash sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 501st 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 Scarlet Flash in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Only Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Scarlet Flash sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scarlet Flash is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (32 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.
