With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brunia antica sighting in Pune on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 210th most-seen of the 340 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 August–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brunia antica in Pune on a given day, against under 5% in February–July and December, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brunia antica is recorded against all the insects logged in Pune (10 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.
