With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nausinoe perspectata sighting in Chennai on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 230th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Nausinoe perspectata in Chennai on a given day, against under 5% in May, July–October and December, the lowest months. That is one of Chennai's wettest months, with about 290 mm of rain against 5 mm in February.
Among the best
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Nausinoe perspectata sightings, Chennai ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Colombo [Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte] (Sri Lanka, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nausinoe perspectata is recorded against all the insects logged in Chennai (10 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.
