Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Cyana bellissima sighting in Kathmandu on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 22nd most-seen of the 71 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Cyana bellissima in Kathmandu on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and November–April, the lowest months. That is one of Kathmandu's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain against 280 mm in July.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cyana bellissima sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kathmandu, in our data
Kathmandu is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cyana bellissima sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Cyana bellissima that you can see in Kathmandu (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Nyctemera adversata (about 40%), Lymantria marginata (about 20%) and Tropical Tiger Moth (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cyana bellissima is recorded against all the insects logged in Kathmandu (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.
