With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cupido nisa sighting in Tuen Mun on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 394th most-seen of the 557 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.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cupido nisa sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cupido nisa is recorded against all the insects logged in Tuen Mun (8 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.
