Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Leucania yu sighting in Kochi on a given day, based on 6 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.
April–May and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Leucania yu in Kochi on a given day, against under 5% in June–October and December–March, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leucania yu is recorded against all the insects logged in Kochi (6 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.
