With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chequered Snout sighting in Kochi on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 202nd most-seen of the 428 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May and October–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chequered Snout in Kochi on a given day, against under 5% in January–March and June–September, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chequered Snout sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Chequered Snout sightings, Kochi ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Chennai (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chequered Snout is recorded against all the insects logged in Kochi (16 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.
