Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pagyda salvalis sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 433rd 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.
July and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pagyda salvalis in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in August–September and November–June, the lowest months. Those are among Bengaluru's wettest months, with about 120 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Pagyda salvalis sightings, Bengaluru ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Kochi (India, about 10%) and Hyderabad (India, under 5%).
Same family: Crambidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pagyda salvalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Bengaluru (5 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.
