Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Coptacra punctaria sighting in Kochi on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 377th 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Coptacra punctaria in Kochi on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Kochi's wettest months, with about 440 mm of rain against 15 mm in January.
Only Kochi, in our data
Kochi is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Coptacra punctaria sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Coptacra punctaria that you can see in Kochi (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Rufous-Legged Grasshopper (about 10%), Spathosternum prasiniferum (about 10%) and Chitaura indica (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Coptacra punctaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Kochi (5 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.
