Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Paddyfield Parasol sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 6 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.
January–February, April and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Paddyfield Parasol in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–October and December, the lowest months. Those are among Mumbai's driest months, with about 5 mm of rain a month against 830 mm in July.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Paddyfield Parasol sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Paddyfield Parasol sightings, Mumbai ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Bangkok (Thailand, about 10%) and Pune (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Paddyfield Parasol is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (6 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.
