Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Euproctis cervina sighting in New Delhi on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 154th most-seen of the 174 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.
March and July–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Euproctis cervina in New Delhi on a given day, against under 5% in April–June and September–February, the lowest months. Those are among New Delhi's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain a month against almost none in November.
Only New Delhi, in our data
New Delhi is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Euproctis cervina sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Euproctis cervina that you can see in New Delhi (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Seven-Spotted Handmaiden Moth (about 20%), Handmaiden Moth (about 10%) and Castor Semi-Looper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Euproctis cervina is recorded against all the insects logged in New Delhi (5 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.
