Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Paris Peacock Swallowtail sighting in Kochi on a given day, based on 9 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.
May and August–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Paris Peacock Swallowtail in Kochi on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and November–April, the lowest months. Those are among Kochi's wettest months, with about 320 mm of rain a month against 15 mm in January.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Paris Peacock Swallowtail sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Paris Peacock Swallowtail sightings, Kochi ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, about 20%), Tuen Mun (China, about 20%) and Zhuhai [Macau] (China, about 10%).
Same genus: Papilio
The closest relatives of the Paris Peacock Swallowtail that you can see in Kochi (genus Papilio, Common Swallowtails) are Common Mormon Swallowtail (about 30%), Lime Swallowtail (about 20%) and Great Mormon Swallowtail (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Paris Peacock Swallowtail is recorded against all the insects logged in Kochi (9 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.
