Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Isocentris filalis sighting in Kochi on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 318th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February, June–July and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Isocentris filalis in Kochi on a given day, against under 5% in March–May, August–September and November–January, the lowest months. Those are among Kochi's wettest months, with about 330 mm of rain a month against 15 mm in January.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Isocentris filalis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
4th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Isocentris filalis sightings, Kochi ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kolkata (India, about 10%), Chennai (India, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Isocentris filalis 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 Isocentris filalis 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.
