Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Papilio tereas sighting in Yogyakarta on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 60th most-seen of the 141 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February, July and November
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Papilio tereas in Yogyakarta on a given day, against under 5% in January, June and August–October, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Papilio tereas sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Papilio tereas sightings, Yogyakarta ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Denpasar (Indonesia, about 20%).
Same genus: Papilio

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Papilio tereas is recorded against all the insects logged in Yogyakarta (13 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.
