With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Helictopleurus quadripunctatus sighting in Antananarivo on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 48th most-seen of the 59 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Helictopleurus quadripunctatus in Antananarivo on a given day, against under 5% in May to December, the lowest months. That is one of Antananarivo's wettest months, with about 380 mm of rain against 45 mm in September.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Helictopleurus quadripunctatus sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Antananarivo, in our data
Antananarivo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Helictopleurus quadripunctatus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Helictopleurus quadripunctatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Antananarivo (6 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.
