Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Lachnoptera iole sighting in Kibale National Park on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 8th most-seen of the 41 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and December
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Lachnoptera iole in Kibale National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–March and August, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lachnoptera iole sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kibale National Park, in our data
Kibale National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Lachnoptera iole sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Lachnoptera iole that you can see in Kibale National Park (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Chloropoea lucretia (about 40%), Herminia Glider (about 40%) and Aurivillius’ Brown Pansy (about 40%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lachnoptera iole is recorded against all the insects logged in Kibale National Park (16 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.
