With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Barsine linga sighting in Kathmandu on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 60th most-seen of the 71 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.
September
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Barsine linga in Kathmandu on a given day, against under 5% in November to August, the lowest months. That is one of Kathmandu's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain against almost none in November.
Only Kathmandu, in our data
Kathmandu is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Barsine linga sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Barsine linga that you can see in Kathmandu (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Nyctemera adversata (about 40%), Lymantria marginata (about 20%) and Cyana bellissima (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Barsine linga is recorded against all the insects logged in Kathmandu (7 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.
