In 3 days ~60% in a week ~90%
Delias hyparete, the painted Jezebel, is a medium-sized butterfly of the family Pieridae, found in South Asia and Southeast Asia. This species closely resembles Delias eucharis but can be distinguished as follows: Male upper forewing has the black margins to the veins more diffuse; the transverse postdiscal band diffuse, ill-defined, oblique, not parallel to termen in its lower portion but terminated at apex of vein 2; the apical portion of the wing beyond the fascia more or less so thickly shaded with black scales as to leave the white lanceolate (lance-shaped) spaces between the veins (so prominent in D. eucharis) ill-defined and obscure. Hindwing white, the black venation and terminal narrow black border as well as the sub-terminal vermilion-red spots between the veins on the underside
show through by transparency. Underside: forewing as in D. eucharis, but the black margins to the veins much broader and the postdiscal transverse fascia as on the upperside oblique but broader. Hindwing differs from that of D. eucharis in the much deeper chrome-yellow tint of the ground colour, the postdiscal black curved band that in D. eucharis separates the yellow from the subterminal...

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Painted Jezebel sighting in Yangon on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 8th most-seen of the 28 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and November
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Painted Jezebel in Yangon on a given day, against under 5% in February–March and June–July, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Painted Jezebel sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 14
Of the 14 cities where we can rate Painted Jezebel sightings, Yangon ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Phnom Penh (Cambodia, about 40%).
Same family: Pieridae
The closest relatives of the Painted Jezebel that you can see in Yangon (family Pieridae, Whites, Yellows, and Sulphurs) are Great Orange Tip (about 20%), Psyche (about 20%) and Western Striped Albatross (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Painted Jezebel is recorded against all the insects logged in Yangon (14 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.
