Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Slate Flash sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 65 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 313th 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.
April–June and December–February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Slate Flash in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in March and July–November, the lowest months.
12th of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Slate Flash sightings, Singapore ranks 12th at under 5%. The best odds are in Pune (India, about 10%), Salem (India, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Slate Flash is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (65 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.
