With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Redeye sighting in Kolkata on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 101st most-seen of the 213 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, September and November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Common Redeye in Kolkata on a given day, against under 5% in October and December–March, the lowest months. Those are among Kolkata's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in December.
5th of 15
Of the 15 cities where we can rate Common Redeye sightings, Kolkata ranks 5th at about 10%. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 20%), Thiruvananthapuram (India, about 10%) and Dhaka (Bangladesh, about 10%).
Same family: Hesperiidae
The closest relatives of the Common Redeye that you can see in Kolkata (family Hesperiidae, Skippers) are Indian Palm Bob (about 20%), Common Bush Hopper (about 10%) and Parnara naso (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Redeye is recorded against all the insects logged in Kolkata (15 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.
