With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chironomus javanus sighting in Kathmandu on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 47th most-seen of the 71 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Chironomus javanus in Kathmandu on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. That is one of Kathmandu's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against almost none in November.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chironomus javanus sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Chironomus javanus sightings, Kathmandu has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Hyderabad (India, under 5%) and Bengaluru (India, under 5%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Chironomus javanus that you can see in Kathmandu (order Diptera, Flies) are Bathroom Moth Fly (about 20%), Eristalis cerealis (about 20%) and Black Soldier Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chironomus javanus is recorded against all the insects logged in Kathmandu (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.
