With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Maliattha signifera sighting in Hyderabad on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 223rd most-seen of the 318 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.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Maliattha signifera in Hyderabad on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–June, the lowest months. That is one of Hyderabad's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain against almost none in December.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Maliattha signifera sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Maliattha signifera sightings, Hyderabad ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Colombo [Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte] (Sri Lanka, about 10%).
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Maliattha signifera that you can see in Hyderabad (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are Indian Lily Moth (about 10%), Oriental Leafworm Moth (about 10%) and Cotton Bollworm Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Maliattha signifera is recorded against all the insects logged in Hyderabad (15 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.
