With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Emerald-Striped Spreadwing sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 189th most-seen of the 362 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September to January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Emerald-Striped Spreadwing in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in February to August, the lowest months. Those are among Mumbai's driest months, with about 100 mm of rain a month against 830 mm in July.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Emerald-Striped Spreadwing sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Mumbai, in our data
Mumbai is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Emerald-Striped Spreadwing sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Emerald-Striped Spreadwing is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (14 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.
