In 3 days ~50% in a week ~80%
Sumalia daraxa, the green commodore, is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in tropical and subtropical Asia.(Himalayas, NE.India, N.Burma, Malaya, Borneo, Indo-China).The wingspan is 60 to 70 millimeters.The upper surface of the forewings in both females and males is dark brown. A light green band extends across the postdiscal region on both pairs of wings, breaking up into spots towards the apex on the forewings. However, the green hue fades with age. A row of round black spots is visible in the submarginal region of the upper surface of the hindwings. An orange-red spot stands out at the anal angle. On the reddish-brown undersides of the wings, the pattern of the uppersides is somewhat paler and includes white bands. The basal region of the hindwings is cream-colored. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Green Commodore sighting in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 12th most-seen of the 153 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.
March–April and September
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Green Commodore in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May and October–November, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green Commodore 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 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Green Commodore sightings, Doi Inthanon National Park ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Namdapha National Park (India, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Commodore is recorded against all the insects logged in Doi Inthanon National Park (27 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.
