Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Pierrot 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.
April, July and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Pierrot in New Delhi on a given day, against under 5% in May–June, August and November–March, the lowest months. Those are among New Delhi's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against almost none in November.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Striped Pierrot sightings, New Delhi ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Prayagraj (India, about 20%) and Pune (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Striped Pierrot 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.
