In 3 days ~60% in a week ~90%
Terinos clarissa is an Indomalayan is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae (Heliconiinae). The larva feeds on Homalium, Rinorea. Male above is a most magnificent, blue-violet velvety lustre.clarissa resembles above malayana (108 c) but the distal margin of the hindwing, while not quite so broad, is of a yellowish red colour. The predominant colour of the female is black; the forewings are dark blue at the base, with a narrow median band of the same colour. The hindwings are towards the anal angle yellow, proximally with a slight reddish tinge; the yellowish anal border is confined by an oblique blue intermedian band, and the anal area contains in addition two indistinct crescents as well as two circular patches of violet. The underside is in the male redbrown, with white longitudinal bands having a slight violet tinge, and with a strongly
undulate reddish-yellow submarginal fascia, which latter is met with in all the subspecies. The female is chiefly gray with whitish anal area and a pale yellow submarginal band. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Malayan Assyrian sighting in Cuc Phuong National Park on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 51st most-seen of the 126 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.
June
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Malayan Assyrian in Cuc Phuong National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, July–August and October–December, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Malayan Assyrian sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Malayan Assyrian sightings, Cuc Phuong National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Kaeng Krachan National Park (Thailand, about 10%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Malayan Assyrian that you can see in Cuc Phuong National Park (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Little Mapwing (about 50%), Himalayan Jester (about 50%) and Marbled Map (about 50%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Malayan Assyrian is recorded against all the insects logged in Cuc Phuong National Park (15 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
