With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Triangular-Striped Moth sighting in Chennai on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 259th 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, May and August–October

Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Triangular-Striped Moth that you can see in Chennai (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Sandalwood Defoliator (about 30%), Dot-Underwing Moth (about 20%) and Common Fruit-Piercing Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Triangular-Striped Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Chennai (8 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.
