Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ammatho cuneonotatus sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 395th 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.
March and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ammatho cuneonotatus in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in January–February and April–October, the lowest months. Those are among Bengaluru's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 150 mm in September.
Between 4 and 7 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ammatho cuneonotatus sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Bengaluru, in our data
Bengaluru is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ammatho cuneonotatus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Ammatho cuneonotatus that you can see in Bengaluru (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Footman Moth (about 30%), Sandalwood Defoliator (about 20%) and Handmaiden Moth (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ammatho cuneonotatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Bengaluru (6 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.
