Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Laelia exclamationis sighting in Kathmandu on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 31st 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 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July, September and November
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Laelia exclamationis in Kathmandu on a given day, against under 5% in December to May, the lowest months.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Laelia exclamationis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Laelia exclamationis sightings, Kathmandu has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Kochi (India, under 5%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Laelia exclamationis 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 Laelia exclamationis is recorded against all the insects logged in Kathmandu (10 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.
