With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Delta conoideum sighting in Chennai on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 104th most-seen of the 376 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Delta conoideum in Chennai on a given day, against under 5% in September, the lowest month. That is one of Chennai's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 290 mm in November.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Delta conoideum sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Delta conoideum sightings, Chennai ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Hajipur (India, about 50%), Jamshedpur (India, about 30%) and Hyderabad (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Delta conoideum is recorded against all the insects logged in Chennai (27 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.
