Cirrochroa orissa, the banded yeoman, is an Indomalayan species of heliconiine butterfly described by Cajetan and Rudolf Felder in 1860. Hindwings along the subcostal nervules with yellow sexual strigae, which in the basal half accompany also the submedian and lower median, being quite conspicuous upon the red-brown ground-colour.On the forewing 2 or 3 radial stripes encroach upon the black colour of the apical portion. On the under surface the predominating colour is yellow, the distal half of the hindwings reddish-brown. The fore wings are traversed by a broad cream-coloured diagonal band; hindwings similar so those of Cirrochroa satellita, but with a more sharply defined longitudinal band having an intense lustre of mother-of-pearl.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Yeoman sighting in Taman Negara National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 64th most-seen of the 84 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Yeoman in Taman Negara National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and September–January, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Banded Yeoman sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Banded Yeoman sightings, Taman Negara National Park ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Khao Luang National Park (Thailand, about 30%) and Kinabalu Park (Malaysia, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Banded Yeoman is recorded against all the insects logged in Taman Negara National Park (5 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.
