With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chiasmia emersaria sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 49 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 76th most-seen of the 362 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.
January and February
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Chiasmia emersaria in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in May, the lowest month. Those are among Mumbai's driest months, with almost no rain against 830 mm in July.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chiasmia emersaria sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
10th of 19
Of the 19 cities where we can rate Chiasmia emersaria sightings, Mumbai ranks 10th at about 10%. The best odds are in Jamshedpur (India, about 30%), Dhaka (Bangladesh, about 20%) and Jabalpur (India, about 20%).
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Chiasmia emersaria that you can see in Mumbai (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Acacia Blood Vein Moth (about 10%) and Black Looper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chiasmia emersaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (49 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.
