With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lymantria fuliginosa sighting in Kozhikode on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 87th most-seen of the 138 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Lymantria fuliginosa in Kozhikode on a given day, against under 5% in September and December–June, the lowest months. That is one of Kozhikode's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against 5 mm in January.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lymantria fuliginosa sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lymantria fuliginosa is recorded against all the insects logged in Kozhikode (7 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.
