Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Xanthodes intersepta sighting in Kochi on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 299th 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–July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Xanthodes intersepta in Kochi on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–April, the lowest months. Those are among Kochi's wettest months, with about 380 mm of rain a month against 15 mm in January.
Only Kochi, in our data
Kochi is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Xanthodes intersepta sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xanthodes intersepta is recorded against all the insects logged in Kochi (8 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.
