Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Scarce Shot Silverline sighting in Pune on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 245th 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.
June–July and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scarce Shot Silverline in Pune on a given day, against under 5% in August–October and December–May, the lowest months. Those are among Pune's wettest months, with about 300 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Only Pune, in our data
Pune is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Scarce Shot Silverline sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scarce Shot Silverline is recorded against all the insects logged in Pune (9 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.
