Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Cardinal Butterfly sighting in Tehran on a given day, based on 44 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 4th most-seen of the 34 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and September–October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Cardinal Butterfly in Tehran on a given day, against under 5% in November to April, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cardinal Butterfly sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Cardinal Butterfly sightings, Tehran ranks 4th at about 20%. The best odds are in Yerevan (Armenia, about 30%), Budapest (Hungary, about 30%) and Ankara (Turkey, about 20%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Cardinal Butterfly that you can see in Tehran (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Painted Lady (about 20%), Plain Tiger Butterfly (about 10%) and Red Admiral (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cardinal Butterfly is recorded against all the insects logged in Tehran (44 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.
