Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nygmia icilia sighting in Pune on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 261st 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–February, September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nygmia icilia in Pune on a given day, against under 5% in March–August, October and December, the lowest months. Those are among Pune's driest months, with about 75 mm of rain a month against 520 mm in July.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nygmia icilia sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Nygmia icilia sightings, Pune ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Kochi (India, about 10%) and Hyderabad (India, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Nygmia icilia 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 Nygmia icilia 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.
