With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pseudonaclia bifasciata sighting in Nairobi on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 99th most-seen of the 123 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Pseudonaclia bifasciata in Nairobi on a given day, against under 5% in February, April and June–November, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pseudonaclia bifasciata sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Nairobi, in our data
Nairobi is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pseudonaclia bifasciata sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Pseudonaclia bifasciata that you can see in Nairobi (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Sundowner Moth (about 10%), Creamstriped Owl (about 10%) and Walker's Owl (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pseudonaclia bifasciata is recorded against all the insects logged in Nairobi (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.
