Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Theretra rhesus 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.
July and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Theretra rhesus in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in August–October and December–June, the lowest months. Those are among Mumbai's wettest months, with about 430 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Theretra rhesus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
7th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Theretra rhesus sightings, Mumbai ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kozhikode (India, about 10%), Kochi (India, about 10%) and Jakarta (Indonesia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Theretra rhesus 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.
