With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amata sperbius sighting in Dhaka on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 68th most-seen of the 92 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Amata sperbius in Dhaka on a given day, against under 5% in March–April, June, August, October and December–January, the lowest months. That is one of Dhaka's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain against 440 mm in July.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Amata sperbius sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Amata sperbius sightings, Dhaka ranks 5th at about 10%. The best odds are in Guwahati (India, about 20%), Nanning (China, about 20%) and Hanoi (Vietnam, about 20%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Amata sperbius that you can see in Dhaka (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Tropical Tiger Moth (about 20%) and Castor Semi-Looper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amata sperbius is recorded against all the insects logged in Dhaka (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.
