Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Banner sighting in Pune on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 312th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Banner 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.

Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Oriental Banner that you can see in Pune (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are Indian Lily Moth (about 10%), Oriental Leafworm Moth (about 10%) and Eustrotia marginata (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oriental Banner is recorded against all the insects logged in Pune (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.
