Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eressa aperiens sighting in Pune on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 293rd 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.
October and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eressa aperiens in Pune on a given day, against under 5% in December to September, the lowest months. Those are among Pune's driest months, with about 65 mm of rain a month against 520 mm in July.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eressa aperiens sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Pune, in our data
Pune is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eressa aperiens sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Eressa aperiens that you can see in Pune (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Footman Moth (about 10%), Handmaiden Moth (about 10%) and Sandalwood Defoliator (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eressa aperiens is recorded against all the insects logged in Pune (7 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.
