Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Teak Leaf Skeletonizer 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.
March, June–July and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Teak Leaf Skeletonizer in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in April–May, August–September and November–February, the lowest months.
Only Bengaluru, in our data
Bengaluru is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Teak Leaf Skeletonizer sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Teak Leaf Skeletonizer 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.
