Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Acontia marmoralis sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 360th most-seen of the 477 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Acontia marmoralis in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in May–August and October–March, the lowest months. Those are among Bengaluru's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Acontia marmoralis sightings, Bengaluru ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hyderabad (India, under 5%).
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Acontia marmoralis that you can see in Bengaluru (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are Indian Lily Moth (about 10%) and Oriental Leafworm Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acontia marmoralis is recorded against all the insects logged in Bengaluru (7 verified sightings), 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.
