Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Laelia exclamationis sighting in Kochi on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 277th 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.
June to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Laelia exclamationis in Kochi on a given day, against under 5% in September to May, the lowest months. Those are among Kochi's wettest months, with about 430 mm of rain a month against 15 mm in January.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Laelia exclamationis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Laelia exclamationis sightings, Kochi ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Kathmandu (Nepal, about 20%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Laelia exclamationis that you can see in Kochi (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Sandalwood Defoliator (about 20%), Tropical Tiger Moth (about 20%) and Handmaiden Moth (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Laelia exclamationis is recorded against all the insects logged in Kochi (10 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.
