Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Tortoiseshell sighting in Srinagar on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and July–September
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Tortoiseshell in Srinagar on a given day, against under 5% in May and June, the lowest months. November has too few records to rate.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Indian Tortoiseshell sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Indian Tortoiseshell sightings, Srinagar ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Kathmandu (Nepal, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Indian Tortoiseshell is recorded against all the insects logged in Srinagar (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.
