Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Erebus ephesperis sighting in Kochi on a given day, based on 7 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.
July and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Erebus ephesperis in Kochi on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months. Those are among Kochi's wettest months, with about 390 mm of rain a month against 15 mm in January.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Erebus ephesperis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Erebus ephesperis sightings, Kochi ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kozhikode (India, about 10%), Singapore (Singapore, about 10%) and Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Erebus ephesperis is recorded against all the insects logged in Kochi (7 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.
