Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Jewelled Grass-Blue sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 243rd 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.
March and October–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Jewelled Grass-Blue in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in February and April–September, the lowest months. Those are among Mumbai's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain a month against 830 mm in July.
7th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Jewelled Grass-Blue sightings, Mumbai ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Hyderabad (India, about 10%), Chennai (India, about 10%) and Pune (India, about 10%).
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Jewelled Grass-Blue that you can see in Mumbai (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Red Pierrot (about 30%), Plains Cupid (about 20%) and Lime Blue (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jewelled Grass-Blue 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.
