With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Redeye sighting in Chennai on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 145th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Common Redeye in Chennai on a given day, against under 5% in April–June and August, the lowest months. That is one of Chennai's driest months, with about 5 mm of rain against 290 mm in November.
8th of 15
Of the 15 cities where we can rate Common Redeye sightings, Chennai ranks 8th at about 10%. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 20%), Thiruvananthapuram (India, about 10%) and Dhaka (Bangladesh, about 10%).
Same family: Hesperiidae
The closest relatives of the Common Redeye that you can see in Chennai (family Hesperiidae, Skippers) are Parnara naso (about 30%), Common Banded Awl (about 20%) and Grass Demon (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Redeye is recorded against all the insects logged in Chennai (17 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.
