Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Restricted Spotted Flat sighting in Kochi on a given day, based on 5 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.
February–March, June and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Restricted Spotted Flat in Kochi on a given day, against under 5% in April–May, July–August and October–January, the lowest months.
Only Kochi, in our data
Kochi is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Restricted Spotted Flat sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Restricted Spotted Flat is recorded against all the insects logged in Kochi (5 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.
