With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Underwing sighting in Kochi on a given day, based on 36 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 119th most-seen of the 428 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Underwing in Kochi on a given day, against under 5% in January to March, the lowest months. That is one of Kochi's wettest months, with about 440 mm of rain against 15 mm in January.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow Underwing sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Yellow Underwing sightings, Kochi ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Thrissur (India, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Yellow Underwing that you can see in Kochi (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Sandalwood Defoliator (about 20%), Tropical Tiger Moth (about 20%) and Handmaiden Moth (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow Underwing is recorded against all the insects logged in Kochi (36 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.
