Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Parapionus varicolor sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 283rd 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.
July to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Parapionus varicolor in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in October to June, the lowest months. Those are among Mumbai's wettest months, with about 610 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Only Mumbai, in our data
Mumbai is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Parapionus varicolor sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Parapionus varicolor 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.
