Before you go

What are the chances of seeing a Clipper in Kinabalu Park?

Possible

About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Clipper sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 63rd most-seen of the 297 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.

When is the best time to see a Clipper in Kinabalu Park?

July–August and October–January

In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Clipper in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and September, the lowest months.

What time of day is best to see a Clipper?

Between 9 am and noon

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Clipper sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Where does the Clipper sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Clipper is recorded against all the insects logged in Kinabalu Park (17 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.
