Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ptilocera continua sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 9 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.
January and June–July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ptilocera continua in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in February–May and August–December, the lowest months.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Ptilocera continua sightings, Mumbai ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Colombo [Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte] (Sri Lanka, about 10%).
Same family: Stratiomyidae
The closest relatives of the Ptilocera continua that you can see in Mumbai (family Stratiomyidae, Soldier Flies) are Black Soldier Fly (about 10%), Oplodontha rubrithorax (about 10%) and Adoxomyia heminopla (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ptilocera continua 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.
