Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lymantria ampla sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 314th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–March and June–July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lymantria ampla in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in April–May and August–January, the lowest months. Those are among Mumbai's wettest months, with about 340 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lymantria ampla sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Lymantria ampla sightings, Mumbai ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Ponnani (India, about 20%), Kochi (India, about 10%) and Kollam (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lymantria ampla is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (7 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.
