Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Maliattha signifera sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 7 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.
September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Maliattha signifera in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in October and December–August, the lowest months. Those are among Bengaluru's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Maliattha signifera sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
5th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Maliattha signifera sightings, Bengaluru ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Colombo [Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte] (Sri Lanka, about 10%), Hyderabad (India, about 10%) and Kochi (India, under 5%).
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Maliattha signifera 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 Maliattha signifera 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.
