Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Geometrical Lines sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 258th 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.
September and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Geometrical Lines in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in November to August, the lowest months.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Geometrical Lines sightings, Mumbai ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Prayagraj (India, about 10%) and Tokyo (Japan, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Geometrical Lines that you can see in Mumbai (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Footman Moth (about 10%), Banyan Tussock Moth (about 10%) and Seven-Spotted Handmaiden Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Geometrical Lines is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (9 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.
