With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Punchinello sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 95th most-seen of the 297 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, April and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Punchinello in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in February and September–December, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Punchinello sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 8
Of the 8 parks where we can rate Punchinello sightings, Kinabalu Park ranks 6th at about 10%. The best odds are in Namdapha National Park (India, about 60%), Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, about 40%) and Cuc Phuong National Park (Vietnam, about 40%). All parks ranked.
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Punchinello that you can see in Kinabalu Park (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Rajah Brooke's Birdwing (about 40%), Mycalesis marginata (about 30%) and Tropical Swallowtail Moth (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Punchinello is recorded against all the insects logged in Kinabalu Park (12 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.
