Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Punchinello sighting in Kathmandu on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 39th 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
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Punchinello in Kathmandu on a given day, against under 5% in November to June, the lowest months. That is one of Kathmandu's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against almost none in November.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Punchinello sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Punchinello sightings, Kathmandu ranks 5th at about 20%. The best odds are in Guwahati (India, about 30%), Tuen Mun (China, about 30%) and Hong Kong (China, about 20%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Punchinello that you can see in Kathmandu (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Indian Tortoiseshell (about 40%), Plain Tiger Butterfly (about 40%) and Indian Cabbage White (about 40%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Punchinello is recorded against all the insects logged in Kathmandu (9 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.
