Where does the Malayan Six-Ring sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Malayan Six-Ring is recorded against all the insects logged in Sepilok (7 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.
