Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nisia nervosa sighting in Kochi on a given day, based on 10 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 and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nisia nervosa 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.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Nisia nervosa sightings, Kochi ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Nisia nervosa that you can see in Kochi (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Kalidasa lanata (about 10%), Phymatostetha deschampsi (about 10%) and Black Planthopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nisia nervosa 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.
