With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Variable Wisp sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 219 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 181st 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.
November to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Variable Wisp in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in October, the lowest month.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Variable Wisp sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
10th of 14
Of the 14 cities where we can rate Variable Wisp sightings, Singapore ranks 10th at about 10%. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 30%), Davao City (Philippines, about 30%) and Kuching (Malaysia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Variable Wisp is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (219 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.
