With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eudocima homaena sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 200th most-seen of the 362 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and September–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eudocima homaena in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in January and March–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 midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eudocima homaena sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Eudocima homaena sightings, Mumbai ranks 4th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, about 10%), Chennai (India, about 10%) and Bengaluru (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eudocima homaena is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (12 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.
