With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chequered Snout sighting in Chennai on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 132nd most-seen of the 376 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and May–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chequered Snout in Chennai on a given day, against under 5% in January and March–April, the lowest months.

Of the 6 cities where we can rate Chequered Snout sightings, Chennai has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Kochi (India, about 10%) and Bengaluru (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chequered Snout is recorded against all the insects logged in Chennai (21 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.
