Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bradina admixtalis sighting in Kochi on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 335th most-seen of the 428 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and June–July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bradina admixtalis in Kochi on a given day, against under 5% in May and August–March, the lowest months. Those are among Kochi's wettest months, with about 350 mm of rain a month against 15 mm in January.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bradina admixtalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Bradina admixtalis sightings, Kochi ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Durban (South Africa, under 5%).
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Bradina admixtalis that you can see in Kochi (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth (about 20%), Hydrilla Leafcutter Moth (about 10%) and Rice Case Bearer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bradina admixtalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Kochi (6 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.
