With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orange Punch sighting in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 71st most-seen of the 153 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and March
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Orange Punch in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, April–May and July–December, the lowest months. Those are among Doi Inthanon National Park's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against 340 mm in August.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orange Punch sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Doi Inthanon National Park, in our data
Doi Inthanon National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Orange Punch sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Orange Punch that you can see in Doi Inthanon National Park (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Pale Hedge Blue (about 20%), Common Pierrot (about 10%) and Common Hedge Blue (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange Punch is recorded against all the insects logged in Doi Inthanon National Park (11 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.
