Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Measured Pearl sighting in Chennai on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 298th most-seen of the 376 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January, April and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Measured Pearl in Chennai on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, May–August and November–December, the lowest months.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Measured Pearl sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
5th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Measured Pearl sightings, Chennai ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Harare (Zimbabwe, about 10%), Pretoria (South Africa, about 10%) and Johannesburg (South Africa, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Measured Pearl is recorded against all the insects logged in Chennai (6 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.
